Shawn Stockman (Boyz II Men) recorded a cover version of Beyonce`s first single “If I Were A Boy” titled “If You Were A Boy“. The song sounds great and Beyonce and him should record a remix to this song together. Click here to listen.
Shawn Stockman - If You Were A Boy Lyrics
If you were a boy you`d understand
How it feels when she says your best ain`t good enough
And you know you are doing all that you can
You`d go to the bar, drink a few shots of patron
Just so you can deal with a woman
That makes you feel unwanted in your own home
If you were a boy you would finally see
How it`s so frustrating when your woman
Tries to change a man she knew you would be
You listen to her but wonder “does she listen to me”
Maybe then you`d understand being a man
Is much harder than you believe
If you were a boy you will notice right away
You could be so unkind if i change my mind
So unforgiving when i make a mistake (yes you do)
Then you found you have to laugh when the coins flip on it`s back
She looks in your eyes with selfish pride and says
“I am a girl and I am allowed to do that” (aint that some shit)
If you were a boy you would finally see
How it`s so frustrating when your woman
Tries to change a man she know you would be
You listen to her but wonder “does she listen to me”
That`s for sure, the girl you live with aint always as sweet as she believes
I am the one who is there for you when you are emotionally weak
Only when you are the strongest when the world is allowed to see
I see all the imperfections, i see all the flaws when that make up comes off
If you were a boy, you`understand
How do you like this song?

Toby Gad and BC Jean wrote lyrics for “If I Were A Boy”, but I am not sure who wrote the lyrics for Shawn`s version…
Added the lyrics
Shawn wrote the lyrics if you go to you tube he is up there telling why he wrote this version . He’s saying not all men are bad , but there are women who are just as bad in relationships . I’m a woman and I understand what he is saying . I love this song .
