If I (be) …………………………. a boy even just for a day

I (roll) …………………….. out of bed in the morning

And throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls

I'd kick it with who I wanted

And I'd never get confronted for it

'Cause they stick up for me

If I (be) …………………. a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I(be) …………………… a better man

I (listen) ………………………………. to her

'Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

'Cause he's taking you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

If I (be) ……………….. a boy

I ……………….. (turn) off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

Waiting for me to come home

To come home...
