Like a Boy
Ciara Lyrics
Pull up your pants (just like 'em)
Take out the trash (just like 'em)
Gettin' your cash like 'em
Fast like 'em
Girl, you wanna act like he did (I'm talkin' 'bout)
Security codes on everything
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring
Joint account and another one he don't know about (hey)
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, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry?
Would the rules change up or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Girl, go ahead and be (just like 'em)
Go run the streets (just like 'em)
Go home, missin' sleep like 'em, creep like 'em
Front wit' your friends
Act hard when you wit' 'em, like 'em
Keep a straight face when you tell a lie
Always keep an airtight alibi
Keep it hid in the dark
What he don't know won't break his heart (hey)
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, four in the morning on the corner, rolling, doing my own thing
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry?
Would the rules change up or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
If I was always gone
Let the sun beat me home (Would you like that?)
I told you I was with my crew when I knew it wasn't true if I act like you
Walked a mile off in your shoes (Would you like that?)
Messing with your head again
Dose of your own medicine
What if I, had a thing on the side
Made you cry?
Would the rules change up or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad what, you mad?
Can't handle that
R-A, go, here's the clutch
If I paged you (Would you like that?)
Had friends (Would you like that?)
Never call (Would you like that?)
No, no, you wouldn't like that, no!
What if I, made you cry? Would they still apply?
What if I, if I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy

C-I-A-R-A
[Verse 1]
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
On vibrate so your phone don't ever ring (Joint account)
And another one he don't know about
[Pre-Chorus]
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 four in the morning
On the corner, rolling, doing my own thing, oh
[Chorus]
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 could act like a boy
[Post-Corus]
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that!
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that
[Verse 2]
Girl, go 'head and be (Just like 'em)
Go run the streets (Just like 'em)
Come home and 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 air-tight alibi (Keep him in the dark)
What he don't know won't break his heart
[Pre-Chorus]
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 four in the morning
On the corner, rolling, doing my own thing, oh
[Chorus]
What if I
Had a thing on the side?
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up

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
[Chorus]
What if I
Had a thing on the side? (What if I?)
Made ya cry?
Would the rules change up
Or would they still apply?
If I played you like a toy
Sometimes I wish I could act like a boy
[Post-Chorus]
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that
Can't be getting mad
What you mad?
Can't handle that
