If I Were a Boy的詞曲作者為Cheryl Cole，歌詞如下：
If I were a boy
Maybe I'd see things differently
I know I don't give up
But every time you walk out that door
I'm holding back these tears
But I can't anymore
If I were a boy
I'd start from the bottom and go to the top
Get my world on my terms
Make it how I want it
If I were a boy
I'd call my shot and never miss
Take no for an answer
That's just how I am
But until then baby hold my hand
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'd be like 'oh, yeah, yeah, yeah'
If I could go back now and change the words that I said
I wouldn't even let you take it that way
But you always make me feel like a fool
So if you want me to stay, then you gotta make a move now
If I were a boy
I would call my shot and never miss
Take no for an answer
That's just how I am
But until then baby hold my hand
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh (Oh)
If you really love me (love me) 告訴我你會怎么做 (怎么做)
Baby tell me what to do (what to do) 告訴我怎么做 (怎么做)
I can show you how to get it done (get it done) 我可以教你如何完成 (完成它)
If I were a boy (boo) 如果我是個男孩 (boo) 我會如何做 (怎么做) 你會如何看 (怎么看) 你會如何做 (怎么做) 怎么做 (怎么做) 怎么做 (怎么做) 怎么做 (怎么做) 怎么做 (怎么做) 我會像個男人一樣面對一切 (別放棄) 我希望你能讓我相信你是真的愛我 我一直在努力讓自己堅強 但是你離開我後 我無法控制自己哭泣 如果我是個男孩，我會自己闖出一片天，不管世界怎么看我，我都會堅持自我。如果我是個男孩，我會像射箭一樣精準，永不言棄。但現在，親愛的，請握住我的手。
