If I Were A Boy

If I were a boy,

I would kiss her to sleep every night,

And hold her by the waist, just the way she likes;

If I were a boy,

I would bring her chocolates and fries,

And make her laugh, just to see the wrinkles beneath her eyes;

If I were a boy, 

I would never let go of her hand,

And walk her to her house, just to have some extra minutes to spend;

If I were a boy,

I would show her off to my friends,

And after every fight I would never hesitate to be the one to mend;

If I were a boy,

I would play with her hair and her cats,

And kiss her every time she would say that she’s fat;

If I were a boy,

I would bring her flowers,

And take her on field trips and gardens and bowers;

If I were a boy,

I would tell her I mean to keep,

And sit beside her smiling looking at her face while she sleeps;

If I were a boy,

I would take all her problems away,

And massage her shoulders after a long and tiring day;

If I were a boy,

I would remember all the small things,

And always remember the dates and won’t forget the timings;

If I were a boy,

I would give her my heart,

And tell her how she’s always been so beautiful and smart;

If I were a boy,

I would tell her she’s my world,

And she’s absolutely perfect the ways she walks around and twirls.
