If I were a boy - Beyonce

I used this one to teach the 2nd Conditional

"If I Were A Boy" - Beyonce

If I were a boy

I'd roll out of bed in the morning

And chase after girls

Drink beer with the guys

Even just for a day

I'd kick it with who I wanted, and I'd never get confronted for it

And throw on what I wanted then go

Cause they'd stick up for me

(Chorus)

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy

'Cause I know that she'd be faithful

Tell everyone it's broken

I'd put myself first

And make the rules as I go

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

I would turn off my phone

Waiting for me to come home, to come home

(chorus)

It’s a little too late

For you to come back

If you thought I would wait for you

Think I forgive you like that

Well you thought wrong

Say it’s just a mistake

But you’re just a boy

How it feels to love a girl

You don’t listen to her

Someday you’ll wish you were a better man

You don’t understand (Yeah you don’t understand)

You don’t care how it hurts

Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you’re just a boy...
