Lyrics:

[Beyonci]
If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd 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'd stick up for me

[Beyonci]
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

[R. Kelly]
If you were a boy
Then girl you'd understand
You need to stop listening to your friends
Love, respect, and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out
As long as I'm comin' home to you
And give you the world
But you're not a boy
So you don't have a clue
How I work and pay the bills
Girl, everything I do is for you

[Beyonci]
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

[Beyonci] If I were a boy
[R. Kelly] If I were a girl
[Beyonci] I would turn off my phone
[R. Kelly] I wouldn't play games
[Beyonci] Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
[R. Kelly] Girl you know that's wrong
[Beyonci] 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

[R. Kelly]
But you're not a boy
So you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
And I am not a perfect man
Baby, baby

[Beyonci] I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
[R. Kelly] Girl, I know how you feel
[Beyonci] When you lose the one you wanted
And she's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[R. Kelly] Got destroyed, said I'm sorry
[Beyonci]
It's a little too late for you to come back
[R. Kelly] But I can't let you go
Cause I'm too attached
[Beyonci] If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

[Beyonci]
But you're just a boy
