Last week, my friend had bugged me to go and watch Beyonce’s latest music video “If I Were A Boy” because of its brilliance. And ya know what.. I think it is brilliant. The video had a very interesting film noir aspect to it. The beginning of the song you see her singing almost contradicting lyrics – with her having a jobs as a cop while the bf is the one preparing everything for her.. waiting for her and what not. Stereotypical male and female roles. But you gotta love the end. It’s a short film in itself. 

[Verse]  If I were a boy  Even just for a day  I’d roll outta bed in the morning  And throw on what I wanted then 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. 

[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 

[Verse]  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  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) 

[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 (wanted)  Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)  And everything you had got destroyed 

[Vamp1]  It’s a little too late for you to come back  Say its just a mistake  Think I’d forgive you like that  If you thought I would wait for you  You thought wrong 

[Male]  You know when you act like that  I don’t think you realize how it makes me look  or feel 

[Beyonce]  Act like what  Why are you so jealous  It’s not like i’m sleeping with the guy 

[Male]  What 

[Beyonce]  What 

[Male]  I said yo  Why are you so jealous  It aint like I’m sleepin with the girl  [Vamp2]  But you’re just a boy  You don’t understand  Yeah you don’t understand  How it feels to love a girl someday  You wish you were a better man  You don’t listen to her  You don’t care how it hurts  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
