I was suddenly inspired by Beyonce's song If I Were A Boy when i got on board the ship for Cebu this afternoon... Well, i loved the song when i heard it but i wanted to go over the lyrics suddenly... I may sound funny but i just thought of this when i needed a port man for my huge suitcase and i needed for boarding and docking... grrrrrrr.... and also to get me a taxi once i reached cebu today...
And i thought... well.. maybe if i were a boy, i would not need to hire somebody. I could do it myself... or things like that... then suddenly, after disturbing people from calling them especially one of my new found special friend i miss and good enough there are cellphones and the internet... love it!
But anyweis... i just thought that i could maybe understand boys if i become one of them in just a couple of hours just for me to know how it really feels to be one.. if i could be loyal, if i could be a pain in the ass or i could be the best lover in the world although not perfect but real...
I don't know if i would be a good one but i know i will try because i have longed for a love that's true from a guy although not perfect... but i'm not a boy that's why i really don't have any clue. but if i'll be given the chance to possess the strength (aside from the fact that i dont have to hire anyone to carry my things anymore), i'll try not to hurt girls... i'll try not to cause their tears from falling... and be the reason for their misery...
If I Were A Boy
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 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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home

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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd 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
And you don't understand, oh
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're taking her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just a boy
I just wish for love... Much much love. If I can just uplift a friend right now so I won't see her cry anymore... I hate to see friends in despair of wanting to go out from something and all i can do is say, you can do it. Dear Lord, if it makes a difference that i become a boy in just a day and learn a few lessons in life so I would enlighten my mind and get through understanding men, I would... and so I could take my friend away and let her fly... maybe if i was a boy, i'd have the courage to grab my friend and let her soar high. I don't know why we've just met but there may be a purpose... but if it makes a dear difference Lord, let me be...
