If I were a boy
Even just for a day

I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
G C Em D
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
Em C G D
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
etc
Because they'd stick up for me
Chorus-
If I were a boy
I think that I'd 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!
verse 2-
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone that its broken
so they think
that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause I know that she'll be faithful
waiting for me to come home ( to come home)
Chorus
If I were a boy
I think that 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 loose the one you wanted
cause he's taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
Chorus
But your just a boy
You don't understand (and you don't understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you'll 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 taken her for granted
And everything that you had got destroyed
But your just a boy…

Listen to the song for rhythm and the layout of the song. Ive tried to tab out the
as best as i could and hope its clear enough to understand.
Lyrics-
said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
let's rock, you dont stop
rock the riddle that will make your body rock
well so far you've heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank
come on, hank, sing that song
check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a
and the rest is f-l-y
ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix
and these reasons i'll tell ya why
ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a T
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars
that definitely ain't the wack
i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
not a dime till i made it again
everybody go, hotel motel
what you're gonna do today (say what)
cause i'm going to get a fly girl, gonna get some spanking drive off off in a fresh oj.
go hotel, motel, holiday inn
say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
master g, my mellow
its on you so what you gonna do
well it's on n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
i said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
i said i go by the unforgettable name
of the man they call the master gee
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
i'm goin down in history
as the baddest rapper there ever could be
now i'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows
the beat starts gettin into your toes
ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air
ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair
now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang
but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
pop da pop pop ya dont dare stop
come alive yall gimme what ya got
i guess by now you can take a hunch
and find that i am the baby of the bunch
'but that's okay i still keep in stride
cause all i'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
rock rock yall throw it on the floor
im gonna freak ya here im gonna feak ya there
im gonna move you outta this atmosphere
cause im one of a kind and ill shock your mind
ill put t-n-t in your behind
i said 1-2-3-4, come on girls get on the floor
a-come alive, yall a-gimme what ya got
cause im guaranteed to make you rock
i said 1-2-3-4 tell me wonder mike what are you waitin for?
i said hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang the boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
skiddlee beebop a we rock a scoobie doo
and guess what america we love you
cause ya rocked and a rolled with so much soul
you could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
i dont mean to brag i don't mean to boast
but we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
rock it up a baby bubbah
baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
to the beat beat, its so unique
come on everybody and dance to the beat
a hip hop
the hippie the hippie to the
hip hip hop, a you dont stop rock it
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat
i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you can't speak
and do a thing bout a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya don't get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
well, im imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mc's
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mc's try to prove a point
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-sugarhill-gang/128630.html ]
we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike till you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntable
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked some vicious rhymes like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it don't stop yall a tick a tock yall you don't stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today (say what)
im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i can't fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a hell of a crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like
i say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just ain't no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move
i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and don't say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mc's try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a go word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the suker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall
a lets rock yall ya don't stop
ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)
ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin
drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
ya say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friends
a like that yall to the beat yall
beat beat yall ya don't stop
a master gee my mellow
its on you so whatcha gonna do
well like johnny carson on the late show
a like frankie croker in stereo
well like the barkay's singin holy ghost

whose name he earned with his super sperm
we rock and we don't stop
get off yall im here to give you whatcha got
to the beat that it makes you freak
and come alive girl get on your feet
a like a perry mason without a case
like farrah fawcett without her face
like the barkays on the mike
like gettin right down for you tonight
like movin your body so ya dont know how

like comin alive to the master gee
the brother who rocks so viciously
i said the age of one my life begun
at the age of two i was doin the do
at the age of three it was you and me
rockin to the sounds of the master gee
at the age of four i was on the floor
givin all the freaks what they bargained for
at the age of five i didnt take no jive
with the master gee its all the way live
at the age of six i was a pickin up sticks

at the age of seven i was rockin in heaven don'tcha know i went off
i gotta run on down to the beat you see

Am7 Em7
And what you got, is what I want.
There was a time I was blind, I was so confused
Run away just to hide it all from you.
But baby, you knew me better than I knew myself
They say if you love something let it go
If it comes back it's yours
That's how you know
It's for keeps, yeah, it's for sure
And you're ready and willin'
To give me more than
What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever makes me happy sets you free
And I'm thanking you for knowing exactly
What a girl wants
What a girl needs
Whatever keeps me in your arms
And I'm thanking you for giving it to me

So where the hell you at
Just one shot left of this drink, in this glass

I never broke one promise, and I know when you're not honest
Now you got me yelling that's because I'm jealous

Oh I'm jealous
If you keeping your promise, I'm keeping mine

Do the type of things that I never ever do
So I take one look in the mirror and I say to myself
Baby girl you can't survive like this

Freakum dress out my closet
'Yonce fillin' out this skirt
I look damn good I ain't lost it
And I ain't missed a beat

Dancing on them tables ain't got no cares, no sorrow

Said what up to his besties
Now we reminiscing how we used to flex in Texas
Don't be jealous
[Hook]
[Post-Hook]
[Bridge-]
And I hate you for your lies and your covers
And I hate us for making good love to each other
And I love making you jealous but don't judge me
And I know I'm being hateful but that ain't nothing

I'm just human
Don't judge me

You gettin scared now, right?
Don't fear me baby, it's just destiny

Listen
I kind of noticed, from one night
From the club, your front face
It's kind of weird to me
Since you're so fine
If it's up to me your face will change
If you smiling, that should set the tone
Just be limber
If you let go, the music should groove your bones
Just remember
Sing this song with me
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
People are so phony
Nosy coz they're lonely
Aren't you sick of the same thing?
They say so and so was dating
Love you or they're hatin
When it doesn't matter anyway
Coz we're here tonight
If you smiling, that should set the tone
Just be limber baby
If you let go, the music should groove your bones
Baby just remember
Sing this song with me
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
Yeah, you know I can make ya happy
I could change your life
If you give me that chance
To be your man
I won't let you down baby
If you give me that chance
To be your man
Here baby, put on my jacket
And then ...
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Girl ...
RAP

I'm in front of you
Grab a friend, see I can have fun with two
Or me and you put on a stage show
And the mall kids, that's how to change low
From them you heard wow, it's the same glow
Look at me, I say yeah, it's the same dough
We the same type, you my air of life
You have sleepin in the same bed, er'night
Go rock with me, you deserve the best
Take a few shots
Let it burn in your chest
We could ride down
Pumpin N.E.R.D. in the deck
Funny how a few words turn into sex
Play this free, joint called brain
Ma, take a hint
Make me suerve in the lane
The name Malicious
And I burn every track
Clipse and J. Timberlake
Now how heavy is that?
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we'll fly tonight (I just wanna love you baby)
Girl ...
Ain't nobody love you like I love you
You're a good girl and that's what makes me trust ya
Late at night, I talk to you
You will know the difference when I touch you
Break this down
You know, I used to dream about this when I was a
little boy
I never thought it would end up this way, (drums)
It's kind of special right? yeah
You know, you think about it
Sometimes people just destined
Destined to do what they do
And that's what it is
Now everybody dance

Then you couldn't make things new
D7 G
Just by saying I love you
(Repeat intro x2)
VERSE 2
Now that I've tried to
Talk to you and make you understand
All that you have to do is
Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
And touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
Cos I'd All Ready Know

B
For a second you were here

BMaj7
Its hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
EMaj7
Like you never had a love

B
When you was just a young'un your looks but so precious
BMaj7
But now your grown up
Emaj7
So fly its like a blessing but you can't have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Emin
Without you being insecure
B
You never credit yourself so when you got older
BMaj7
It's seems like you came back 10 times over
Emaj7
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Emin
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
Chorus
Verse 2
B
For a second you were here Why you over there?
BMaj7
Its hard not to stare the way you moving your body
Emaj7
Like you never had a love
Emin
Had a love
B
You had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
BMaj7
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
Emaj7
But it wasn't your fault
Wasn't in your intentions
Emin
To be the one here talking to me
Be the one listening
B
But I admire your poppin bottles and dippin'
Bmaj7
Just as much as you admire bartending and stripping

Baby, so don't be mad
Nobody else trippin

Am C F C
Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
Am C F C
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
Am C F C
How come we don't say I love you enough
Am C F C
Till it's too late, it's not too late
Am C F C
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
Am C F C
We could make a feast from these crumbs
Am C F C
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
Am C F C
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done
F G C/E F (Entire Chorus)
Yeah… gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
(Continued after the jump)
Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
You never know a good thing until it's gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we're dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it's gone
Yeah… we gotta start lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
Like we're dying oh…
Like we're dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we're dying

I'll put up a sign in the clouds
So they all know that we ain't ever coming down
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Ohhh oh ohhh
I'm ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall
C G
You build me up
Dm F
Make me what I never was
C G
You build me up
Dm F
From nothing into something
F G
Something from the dust
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Ohhh oh ohhh
I'm ten feet tall
Ohhh oh ohhhh
I'm ten feet tall

Around the one that I call mine
C#m F#m
Time that called for space
Bm F#m
Unclear where you drew the line
C#m F#m
I don't need to solve this case

And I don't need to look behind
A B D
Close my eyes
A B F#m
Let the whole thing pass me by
A B D
There is no time
A B F#m D
To waste asking why
A B D
I'll run away with you by my side
A B A B D - A B F#m
I'll run away with you by my side

Do I expect to change
Bm F#m
The past I hold inside
C#m F#m
With all the words I say
Bm F#m
Repeating over in my mind
C#m F#m
Some things you can't erase
Bm F#m
No matter how hard you try
C#m F#m
An exit to escape
Bm
Is all there is left to find
A B D
Close my eyes
A B F#m
Let the whole thing pass me by

There is no time

To waste asking why

I'll run away with you by my side

I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride

Am C Dm
This was never the way i planned,
F
not my intention.
Am C Dm
i got so brave, drink in hand,
F
lost my discretion.
Am C
It's not what i'm used to,
Dm F
just want to try you on.
Am C Dm
i'm curious, for you,
F
caught my attention.
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
and I liked it.
F
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
Just to try it.
F
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
Am C
It felt so wrong,
Dm
It felt so right.
F
Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
Am C
I kissed a girl,
Dm
And I liked it.
F
I liked it
(Same chords throughout the whole song)
No, I don't even know your name,
It doesn't matter.
Your my experimental game,
Just human nature.
It's not what good girls do,
Not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused,
Hard to erase.
I kissed a girl,
and I liked it.
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl,
Just to try it.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it
Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable,
Hard to resist, so touchable.
To good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal,
Its innocent.
I kissed a girl,
and I liked it.
The taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl,
Just to try it.
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
It felt so right.
Don't mean i'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl,
And I liked it.
I liked it
Verse 1: C G Am F
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks / Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
To win some or learn some
Chorus:
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Verse 2
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free
And look into your heart, and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
Chorus:
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Bridge:
I guess what I've been saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do / Our name is our virtue
Chorus:
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short
This, oh this, this is our fate, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby, do you believe I'm yours?
You best believe, you best believe I'm yours, mmm-hmm
