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

You cut into my life Tar baby, tar baby Grandma came to see Something she could not believe How could her girl be Told the secret she conceived Oh, that big old smile of yours Could turn the wind into a song

Let it flow slowly Girl away you there from when I need you as my closest friend You should calling me Say she want the Rastaman How could this be? It's only love Same way that I want you Girl it's the same way, girl you want me too

Let me make it up, make it up, make it up, make it up to you However, whenever, whatever you want me to I wish I could be that tender, stable girl Get all that weight off your back? Oh, oh That I put there, that I put there That you want, but I'm not And
