IF I WERW A BOY-BEYONCE

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta 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’d 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 taken 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 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

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

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
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
................................

Si yo fuera un chico
Incluso solo por un día
Me desenrollaría de la cama en la mañana
Y haría todo lo que se me diera la gana por hacer
Tomaría una cerveza con los chicos
Iría detrás de las chicas
Saldría con quien quisiera
Y nunca se me confrontaría por nada
Porque ellos darían la cara por mi

Si yo fuera un chico
Pienso que podría entender
Como se siente amar a una chica
Juro que seria un mejor hombre
La escucharía
Porque se como duele
Cuando pierdes al que quieres
Porque el te ha tomado por garantizada
Y todo lo que tenias se ha destruido

Si yo fuera un chico
Apagaría mi teléfono
Les diría a todos que se descompuso
Para que pensaran que estaba durmiendo a solas
Me pondría a mi mismo de primero
Y haría las reglas mientras camino
Porque se que ella me será fiel
Esperando a que llegue a casa
Llegue a casa

Si yo fuera un chico
Pienso que podría entender
Como se siente amar a una chica
Juro que seria un mejor hombre
La escucharía
Porque se como duele
Cuando pierdes al que quieres
Porque el te ha tomado por garantizada
Y todo lo que tenias se ha destruido

Es un poco tarde para que regreses a casa
Di que solamente es un error
Piensa que fácilmente te perdonare
Si pensabas que te esperaría
Te equivocaste

Si yo fuera un chico
Pienso que podría entender
Como se siente amar a una chica
Juro que seria un mejor hombre
La escucharía
Porque se como duele
Cuando pierdes al que quieres
Porque el te ha tomado por garantizada
Y todo lo que tenias se ha destruido

Pero eres solamente un chico

(NO HE ENCONTRADO EL VIDEO DE BEYONCE...NO TENGO UNA CANCION EN GENERAL PREFERIDA..ME GUSTAN VARIAS POR ESO TE PONGO 2 :))

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Era toda una belleza de la pantalla.
Le dije: "Bueno, pero ¿qué quieres decir con que
yo voy a cargar con la culpa?".
Ella dijo que yo iba a cargar con la culpa.
Me dijo que se llamaba Billie Jean, mientras
montaba una escena.

Entonces todas las cabezas se giraron con ojos que
soñaban ser ellos los que cargaran con la culpa.
La gente siempre me dijo: "Ten cuidado con lo que haces
y no andes por ahí rompiendo el corazón de las chicas".
Y mi madre siempre me dijo: "Vigila a quién amas
y cuidado con lo que haces, porque la mentira
acaba siendo verdad".

Billie Jean no es mi amante
sólo es una chica que dice que yo tengo la culpa.
Pero el niño no es mío,
ella dice que tengo la culpa, pero el niño no es mío.
Durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches
la ley estuvo de su parte
pero, ¿quién puede apoyar sus ideas
cuando está en demanda?.

Porque cargamos con la culpa
así que sigue mi rotundo consejo, recuerda
pensarlo siempre dos veces (piénsalo dos veces).
Me dijo que se llamaba Billie Jean, mientras
montaba una escena.

Entonces todas las cabezas se giraron con ojos
que soñaban ser ellos los que cargaran con la culpa.
La gente siempre me dijo: "Ten cuidado con lo que haces
y no andes por ahí rompiendo el corazón de las chicas".
Ella llegó y se puso de mi lado
y el olor de su dulce perfume.

Ocurrió demasiado pronto,
me llamó a su habitación.
Billie Jean no es mi amante,
sólo es una chica que dice que tengo la culpa,
pero el niño no es mío.

Dice que yo tengo la culpa,
dice que es mi hijo,
dice que tengo la culpa.

Billie Jean no es mi amante.
Billie Jean no es mi amante,
Billie Jean no es mi amante,
Billie Jean no es mi amante,
Billie Jean no es mi amante.
Billie Jean no es mi amante,
(sólo es una chica).

How can I decide what’s right when you’re clouding up my mind

I can’t win your losing fight all the time
How can I ever own what’s mine when you’re always taking sides
But you won’t take away my pride, no not this time
Not this time…

How did we get here
When I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes and its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood but you think that I cant see
What kind of man that you are, if you’re a man at all
Well I will figure this one out on my own

I’m screaming I love you so
My thoughts you can’t decode

How did we get here
when I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

Do you see what we’ve done
We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we’ve done
We’re gonna make such fools of ourselves

How did we get here
when I used to know you so well
But how did we get here
I think I know

There is something I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
