If I were A Boy by Beyonce
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’ll 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, ohhhh
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 your just a boy
hey, i was just thinking of sending these lyrics to you :)
ReplyDelete*amen* :)
ReplyDeleteher official video is pretty good too..
ReplyDeleteu reckon some men would understand and absorb? or will there be actual change just few days and then back to square one? back to their roots ...
we sure do hope some of them shall NOT be selfish and for ONCE, just ONCE to prove you wrong .. not for your own sake only .. but for his own as well!
at some point in time, everyone just have to grow up. when is theirs?
*hughs* :)
10c : Actually its KH whom send me this lyrics.... and yeah, I find it very true.
ReplyDeleteSkinnyOne : I totally agree with you.. I do hope, for once, they will grow up, and realized that lots of things we do or did, its for their own good...... Bless them! (btw, I smell defensive comment from Michael soon.....)
Hhhahah...finally got time to comment...so since already anticipated i might as well right.. :)
ReplyDelete"BOYS WILL BE BOYS"
Hhahahahah....what to do god makes us better...be it nature or nurture..we are that way...
Fact is, its not that we don't understand..we see the bigger picture of things instead of the minor details..most of the time we understand..we in our mind there is always a bigger picture of things...men are more objective women are more subjective...we know we should be better man..we want to be better men...but there is always something more important and more significant that keeps coming up...that's just the way life is...
We understand doesn't mean we absorb..we understand doesn't mean we remember....we just understand..yes sometimes there are some of us who takes the initiative to change...we do ..we try with all our might heart and soul...but sometimes...we need motivation...
I heard this over the radio on Mix fm when Pedro and Serena was commenting..caller said...because we want a better package....we want our men to change so we get better deal...don't every women? :) How come u never heard a guy said we want to change our women? Coz women are perfect? :)...hahhahahahahha.....think before you answer..? are you women really? to most of us..career...goal in life is much more significant then try to change a person...why want to change the other party? They are who they are when u met them or when u marry them...u like them in first place because of who they are...not the potential of who they can be...
Its true people need to improve...some of us are more than willing to change...but you women...plz plz be patient lar..don't expect things to change over night..or in a short period of time....once in a while we need some motivation and appreciation from you..most complain i heard from guys..."she always complain i don't change..." the fact is that we have...but takes time to see significant improvement lar...once in a while a word of appreciation like " I see there are some changes..i appreicate it...perhaps some token of appreciation" and not "YOU STUPID IDIOT...CANNOT CHANGE..HOW MANY I TOLD YOU ALREADY TO PUT THE TOILET SEAT DOWN" i mean come on lar...try as we might sometimes sure got error one lar..nobody is perfect..so bear with us...if you want to change the other person..be patient..if you don't have the patient then don't try to change the person.....you love the person for who they are not who they can be.... :)
Michael, we are not expecting our Men to change actually... but we expects them to keep their promise and if they don't change for better.., at least be the same person that we once fall in love with..... and not wasting themselves away.....
ReplyDeleteYou know how much heartache when we sees someone that we fall in love with, evolves into someone whom we don't recognize anymore?
We just want the same person we falls in love with back.....
Just simple as that... how come a smart creature = MEN (as you claimed...) can't understand this?
Im sure some men try with their "heart and soul".. and need women to be patient
ReplyDeleteWe women or should is say some women are not that strict or stupid to not give men a chance. How long men need? some take 10 - 15 years and they are still trying and still requesting women to be more patience.
Most of us are in the rat race ..its a dog eat dog world out there...harsh harsh world...i believe for every men..we go through several phases in our life...its only normal la...this is just me explaining or at least try to justify us men lar ok...it might not apply to all men but for the most part i think i can say for myself lar....
ReplyDeleteYou see when you met us..we are single..no worry..what we make we can spent ..don't have to worry about family, kids, expenses...life is good .... don't have to worry much about tomorrow you know..but then comes commitment.. think about marriage..think about "Dowry", think about wedding dinner...we all know how much all these can cost...so have to work out ass off..no time to release stress..accumulate accumulate..then later...comes family, kids, house..
So when we go through certain stages in our life we become more responsible...putting put on the table..planning financially ..sacrifing our time wif our buddies to blow of the steam...(no money no time) coz u women would eventually complain u rather spent time wif u friends then me...this one i believe most guys have heard it before lar...
I hope that women can take the time to understand why men change...because at different stage in our life we have different responsibilities..thus requires a different mindset...although some if not most do get lost in running this rat race...much of a pity but that's the risk we all have to take..what to do culture is like that....
