"IF I WERE A BOY" by Beyoncé

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 would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they'd think that I was sleeping alone

Let's just fix this whole thing now
