If I Were a Boy - Beyoncé

(Written by Terri Clark) You were standin' at my front door When I came home tonight And I could tell by the look you gave me You were needin' my advice You say you want more out of life than he can give you As a tear rolls down your face But girl, I've seen the way he looks at you And I know someone who'd gladly take your place. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. If I were you. You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something Because you wear a wedding band 'Cause I can't seem to find somebody Who wants more than just a one night stand You know this single life I'm livin' Ain't all it's cracked up to be So you've come to the wrong place If what you want is sympathy. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. Chorus: If I were you I'd run back home tonight Tell him everything's all right Yeah, I know what I'd do If I were you I'd never let him go I'd have someone to hold My whole life through. If I were you...

Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Ridin' off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson A little lady on the front porch wishin' my heart would start settling Big iron hips with the holsters I'd be lookin' mighty fine on a poster Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Sittin' pretty on the prairie, baby I'm your Huckleberry, let me hold ya This six-gun sugar's got a hairpin trigger, like I told ya And this dove never really gets lonesome I never begged, never borrowed but I stole some Wanted by the law but the laws don't apply to me, baby If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen So mamas if your daughters grow up To be cowboys, so what? If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds (tumbling tumbleweeds) I'd be a legend at loving and leaving Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings You thought the West was wild but you ain't saddled up with me (up with me) If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo I'd be the queen Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo Woah-oo-woo, woah-oo-woo

I thought I told you he'd be home soon Couldn't help myself, you're too good to be true I fall short each time, every time he ain't here You and your charm creep closer, closer in here Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all Like a bomb before explosion, ticking by your call You're the wiser one, disguised from greed And I'm just a child who belongs on her knees But I found a boy who I love more Than I ever did you before So stand beside the river, I cried And let yourself down Look how you want me now that I don't need you So, you thought that I would crumble to my knees At the first sight of you crawling back to me To whisper, will you leave your man? 'Cause you swear that this time you can stand by me I won't stand by you 'Cause I found a boy who I love more Than I ever did you before So stand beside the river, I cried And let yourself down Look how you want me now that I don't need you I ain't yours for no taking You must be mistaken I could never look into your eyes and settle for wrong And ignore the right Well, I found a boy who loves me more Than you ever did before So stand beside the river, you'll cry And let yourself down Look how you want me now that I don't need you
