If I Were a Boy - Beyoncé

do do re mi sol
If I were a boy
sol sol la sol mi mi
Even just for a day
do do do re mi mi fa mi re
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
do mi mi mi fa mi re do do
And throw on what I wanted and go

do do re mi sol
Drink beer with the guys
sol la sol mi mi
And chase after girls
do re mi mi mi fa mi re
I’d kick it with who I wanted
do re mi mi mi fa mi re do do
And I’d never get confronted for it
mi mi fa mi re re
‘Cause they stick up for me

DO DO RE MI SOL
If I were a boy
SOL SOL SOL LA SOL MI MI
I think I could understand
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
How it feels to love a girl
DO MI MI MI FA MI RE RE DO
I swear I’d be a better man

DO DO RE MI SOL
I’d listen to her
SOL SOL LA SOL MI MI
‘Cause I know how it hurts
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
When you lose the one you wanted
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
DO MI MI MI FA MI RE DO DO
And everything you had got destroyed

do do re mi sol
If I were a boy
sol sol la sol mi mi
I would turn off my phone
do mi mi mi fa mi re
Tell everyone it’s broken
do re mi mi mi fa mi re do do
So they’d think that I was sleeping alone

do do re mi sol
I’d put myself first
sol sol sol la sol mi mi
And make the rules as I go
do sol sol mi mi fa mi re
‘Cause I know that she’d be faithful
do mi mi mi fa do re do
Waiting for me to come home
do sol sol
To come home

DO DO RE MI SOL
If I were a boy
SOL SOL SOL LA SOL MI MI
I think I could understand
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
How it feels to love a girl
DO MI MI MI FA SOL MI RE DO
I swear I’d be a better man

DO DO RE MI SOL
I’d listen to her
SOL SOL LA SOL MI MI
‘Cause I know how it hurts
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
When you lose the one you wanted
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
‘Cause he’s taking you for granted
DO MI MI MI FA MI RE DO DO
And everything you had got destroyed

DO DO SOL FA MI MI
It’s a little too late
RE si DO si la
For you to come back
DO DO SOL FA MI MI
Say it’s just a mistake
RE RE DO si DO si la
Think I’d forgive you like that
DO DO SOL FA MI FA RE DO
If you thought I would wait for you
DO DO SOL
You thought wrong

do do re mi sol
But you’re just a boy
sol la sol mi mi
You don’t understand
MI RE RE DO RE MI SOL
And you don’t understand, oh
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE DO
How it feels to love a girl, someday
RE MI MI MI MI SOL MI SOL DO la DO
You wish you were a better man

DO DO DO RE MI SOL
You don’t listen to her
SOL SOL LA SOL MI MI
You don’t care how it hurts
SOL SOL RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
Until you lose the one you wanted
DO RE MI MI MI FA MI RE
‘Cause you’re taking her for granted
DO MI MI MI FA MI RE DO DO
And everything you had got destroyed

do do re mi sol
But you’re just a boy
