I Were a Boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then 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.

[Chorus]
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


[Verse]
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)


[Chorus]
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 (wanted)
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted)
And everything you had got destroyed

[Vamp1]
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

[Male]
You know when you act like that
I don't think you realize how it makes me look
or feel

[Beyonce]
Act like what
Why are you so jealous
It's not like i'm sleeping with the guy

[Male]
What

[Beyonce]
What

[Male]
I said yo
Why are you so jealous
It aint like I'm sleepin with the girl
[Vamp2]
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
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’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

Amy Winehouse brought home the bacon

Amy Winehouse bagged 5 major awards in the recently concluded Grammy awards held at Staples Center in Los Angeles. From her six nod, she won five including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, New Artist, Pop Vocal Album and Female Pop Vocal Performance. She sang "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" via satellite from London as she received her awards with tears of joy. We all know her drug-addiction issues but this recognition serves as her catalyst to promote her music more than her image.

Aside from Winehouse, Kanye West's Graduation album garnered four awards including Rap Album of the Year, Rap Solo Performance for his song "Stronger", Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Southside", and Rap Song for "Good Life". There are notable performances in that night including Alicia Keys "duet" with Frank Sinatra (appeared in black and white on a video screen) with the song "Learnin' the Blues". Not only that Kanye rapped Stronger with Daft Punk filling the beat as the former dedicates his performance to his late mother Donda. Seems like Grammy gives chance to our demented singer.
