She also appears to criticise men's lack of empathy with the opposite sex, saying that she would know to treat a woman properly, as she sings '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'. If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear Id be a better man Id listen to her Cause I. Lyrics like 'I'd roll outta bed in the morning / And throw on what I wanted then go' suggest that the seemingly glamorous life of being a celebrity diva can get a little tiring sometimes. If I were a boy Even just for a day Id roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted then go Drink beer with the guys And chase after girls Id kick it with who I wanted And Id never get confronted for it Cause theyd stick up for me. If I Were A Boy, as the title suggests, sees the sexy singer ponder life as a guy.
