    Lyrics:
    If I were a boy
    Even just for a day
    I'd roll outta 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.
    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

      Yeah just lump all men in one group, like all men act and think the same! I find Beyoncé and this song in particular very sexist! But I guess you can be as offensive to men as often you like? Beyoncé is no hero of women empowerment quite the opposite actually! Check out UK history like the Suffragettes www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/higher/history/britsuff/suffrage/revision/1/
      Black women who were part of the American Civil Rights movement www.loc.gov/collections/civil-rights-history-project/articles-and-essays/women-in-the-civil-rights-movement/

      Hi💕, hope you’re having a good day, I hope you don’t mind me spreading the gospel with you, so here it goes just wanted you to know that God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life in a better way and eternally.But bc we disobey God and go our own sinful ways we r separated from Him,but Jesus Christ lived a perfect life for you & died on the cross and rose from the grave for you,He paid the penalty for our sins and bridged the gap between God and us so if you trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation you receive that free gift and eternal life, have a blessed day, byee💕

      percentage wise, just as many wives cheat on their husbands now as husbands who cheat on the wives.
      the answers are ; it doesn't matter what your gender or orientation is, don't be promiscuous and don't make excuses for that behavior, even for single people. the more partners had early in life, the lower the odds in making a long term relationship.

    HEY YOU
    Yes you. stop being unhappy with yourself. You're perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them. Without those things you wouldn't be you. And why would you want to be someone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile. It'll draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself then stick your middle finger up in the air and say screw it. Your happiness should not depend on others anymore. You should be happy because you love who you are. You should love your flaws. You should love your imperfections. They make you. And 'you' is pretty amazing.

      @Notre Aira But not all men are like that, there are good ones you just need to keep looking and learn from the mistakes of the past. Being sadistic wouldn't heal the wounds you suffered, revenge never brings back what has been taken, it only leaves emptyness. Once you overcome all the anger you might find yourself acting smarter with your feelings, being more careful and assertive with your standards. Just kidding we are all evil, aaaaaaall, even the male babys who are just being born at the very second are already sworn to satan. Gotta go to the secret men meeting now where our global men only network plots how we keep women down. Also we'll drink beer and reach nudes of our gfs around, laughing and telling stories about how we boned their friends.

    I was once a boy, now a man. This song exposes the very real agenda in the life of many "boys". So glad I grew up, learned the value of commitment, the rewards of marriage and the joys of life long real love from the one woman that changed my life, for the better, for the much much better!

      Oh it's so true on each version (as in before the gender switch and after). I feel like everyone of each gender can relate to each version. Sadly selfish, sociopathic narcissism knows no gender, and so many men and women alike have fallen victim to dating such a person.
      For what it's worth, I know significantly more females who've dated someone like that, but I definitely know of a couple guys who've dated someone like that too. And it's so sad because I KNOW I can't talk them into leaving the relationship, because I know when I'm in love, my desire to maintain to euphoria of love will ALWAYS override any common sense that could jeopardize that blissful emotion of love.
