Sometimes I Wish I Could Act Like A Boy
Pull up your pants
(Just like em')
Take out the trash
(Just like em')
getting ya cash like em'
Fast like em'
Girl you outta act like ya dig
(What I'm talkin' bout')
Security codes on everything
Vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
(Joint account)
And another one he don't know about
Wish we could switch up the roles
And I could be that...
Tell you I love you
But when you call I never get back
Would you ask them questions like me?...
Like where you be at?
Cause I'm out 4 in the morning
On the corna rolling
Doing my own thing
What if I?...
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up?...
Or would they still apply?...
If I played you like a toy?...
Sometimes I wish I did act like a boy
Girl go head and be...
(Just like em')
Go run the streets
(Just like em')
come home late say sleep like em'
Creep like em'
Front with ya friends
Act hard when you're with em' like em'
(What)
Keep a straight face when ya tell a lie
Always keep an airtight alibi
(Keep him in the dark)
What he don't know won't break his heart
If I was always gone
With the sun getting home
(Would Ya Like That?)
Told you I was with my crew
When I knew it wasn't true
(Would Ya Like That?)
If I act like you
Walk A mile off in yo shoes
(Would Ya Like That?)
I'm messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
If I played you...
Would yo like that?
Had friends...
Would you like that?
never call?
Would you like that?
Hell naw
You wouldn't like that
No!
What if I made ya cry!
Would they still apply!
What if I...
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I did act like a boy!

Beautiful poem! And the English accent is wonderful!
Thanks but I can't claim credit for the 'poem' because it's actually a song by Ciara. :)
Hmm... We'll stick with the English accent tidbit then :) Still warm feelings in any way :)
Cheers, mate, haha! We love warm feelings/ ;)
Thanks ol'chap! And forgive the use of chap. Didn't know what else to use :) Maybe I will throw a "dialogue" in there to sound more British!
LOL @ 'chap'.
