"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"

This is one of Beyonce's song and she wrote this song telling the people how it hurts to be a girl when the boy is immature. She wrote this song in a boy's perspective after her relationship broke down and talked about things that she felt and treated. These lyrics are very inspiring especially for those who are in or have been in relationship because of the pain that could be felt in the relationship. This was her view about girls getting hurt if the boy doesn't understand her well enough after her experience and what she had gone through with her husband.
