“IF I WERE A
” by Beyonce Knowles

If I were a
even just for a day
I'd roll out of
in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink
with the guys
And chase after
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me

I'd roll out of

And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink

And chase after

I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me
{Chorus}
If I were a
I think I could
How it feels to love a
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd
to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a

I think I could

How it feels to love a

I swear I'd be a better man
I'd

'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you

'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
{Verse}
If I were a
I would turn off my
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was
alone
I'd put myself
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
for me to come 
If I were a

I would turn off my

Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was

I'd put myself

And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful


{Chorus}
If I were a
I think I could
How it feels to love a
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd
to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you
'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a

I think I could

How it feels to love a

I swear I'd be a better man
I'd

'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you

'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
{Bridge}
It's a little too
for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would
for you
You thought
It's a little too

Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would

You thought

{Chorus }
But you're just a
You don't understand
Yeah you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a
But you're just a

You don't understand
Yeah you don't understand, oh
How it feels to love a

Someday you wish
you were a better man
You don't
to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you
'Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a
You don't

You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you

'Cause you're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a
