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
Because they’d stick up for me

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

But you're just a boy
You don’t understand (yea you don’t understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll 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 had got destroyed
But you're just a boy…

The smell of your skin
lingers on me now
You're probably on your
flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my
own protection baby
Be with myself in center
clarity peace serenity
I hope you know
I hope you know
That this has nothing
to do with you
It's personal myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And not gonna miss you
like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta get a
move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry don't cry don't cry
The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps
til I'm full grown
Fairy tales don't always
have a happy ending do they
And I forseek the dark
ahead if I stay
I hope you know
I hope you know
That this has nothing
to do with you
It's personal myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And not gonna miss you
like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta get a
move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Like a little school mate
in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend
And you'll be my valentine
Yes you can hold my hand
if you want to
Cuz I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late dark outside
I need to be with myself
in center clarity peace serenity
I hope you know I hope you know
That this has nothing
to do with you
It's personal myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And not gonna miss you
like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta get a
move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry don't cry don't cry
