If I Were A Boy / You Oughta Know (I Am... World Tour)

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta 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'd stick up for me, sing!

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
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone, yeah right

I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home, to come home
To come home

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
And I want nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me, Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Baby, weren't you thinking of me when you, sing!

('Cause the love that you gave that we made)
(Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide), no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away, sing!
It's not (fair) to deny me of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

But you're just a boy
Baby, you don't understand
Until you lose the one you wanted
'Cause you've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy
