Beyonce Knowles is coming out with a new song this month, reportedly to be released on radio on October 14, 2008 (a few days from now). Cut from her third studio album entitled "I Am...", the new song is "If I were a Boy" and already, the web is abuzz with it. If you're looking for the lyrics of 'If I Were a Boy' then you've come to the right place. It it's the music video you're looking for, well, I have several alternatives.

Snippets of the 'If I Were a Boy' music video were found on YouTube several days ago but were immediately removed due to copyright issues. What remained are bogus 'If I Were a Boy' videos that trick you into clicking them only to find out they contain different songs. There are also several snapshots of Beyonce in a police uniform purportedly from the shoot of the real 'If I Were a Boy' music video. Well, we won't really know if they're for real until the actual video comes out, will we? For now, I will post some of them here just in case they turn out to be true, and because she looks totally hot as a police officer! He he.

Update: I found two "videos" of Beyonce's 'If I Were a Boy' a few minutes ago and have posted them below. I have taken the liberty of posting two just in case one (or both) gets removed from YouTube after this writing.

Beyonce's 'If I Were a Boy' lyrics

If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.

[Chorus]
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

If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)

(Chorus)

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong

(Chorus)

But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

I also found this version of 'If I Were a Boy' by BC Jean which I think is much better than Beyonce's. What do you think?
