Beyonce Wisdom.

Yes, I just said that. No, I'm not sure if it's an oxymoron. But I am suddenly obsessed with this song, mostly because of its brilliant real-life application. Well, my real life.

"If I Were a Boy"

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 guysand 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

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 understandand
You don't understand how it feels to love a girl
Someday you'll 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 you're just a boy...



*I bolded the parts I've found personally applicable, in the past or present. The phone part is particularly cringe-worthy. It was actually kind of painful/gratifying to hear it for the first time in the car. I thought, "Ouch, but hey, apparently I'm not the only one!"

Ok, that's probably enough posting for today, yes?
