Read the lyrics and circle the underlined words.

If I were a boy even just for a day, I would roll outta bed in the morning and throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys and chase after girls
I would kick it with who I wanted
And I would never get confronted for it
Cause they would stick up for me
If I were a boy , I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I would be a better man
I would listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he is taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy, I would turn off my phone.
