If I were a Provo Girl

Hello World!

I'm just a dude sick of dating.

A couple weeks ago I was stuck in a car in Saint George with no leg room, feeling hot, tired, irritated, etc. The girls in the car were just RAVING about Beyonce and BLASTING "If I Were a Boy."

Granted, it is a great song, BUT I think they were fangirl-ing way too hard. However over-hyped Beyonce may be by the generic suburban, soda-loving, white college girl, Beyonce and I relate on many levels.

Flash forward one week and I'm getting dumped by one of the girls that was in the car.

Later, after eating a couple gallons of ice cream, watching way too many over-the-top action movies, and regretting several Tinder matches that never went anywhere, this still hurting man channeled his inner Beyonce Meyonce (ouch, total dad joke), and conjured up a masterpiece reworking of "If I were a boy."

So, this "If I were a boy" remake goes out to all of my fellow homies who are sick of women.


If I were a Provo girl
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on my leggings and go
Paint nails with the girls
And ghost that one guy
I'd shut down who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause I've got like six more

[Chorus 1]
If I were a provo girl
I think I could understand
How it feels to be wanted
I swear I'd at least text him back
I'd listen to him
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause she's afraid of commitment
So everything you had got destroyed

[Verse 2]
If I were a Provo girlI would turn off my phoneTell my date that it's brokenSo he’d think I wasn’t texting my ex
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cause I'd know he'll stay invested
Waitin' for me to show interest
But I won't

If I were a Provo girl
I think I could understand
How it feels to be wanted
I swear I'd at least text him back
I'd listen to him
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause she's afraid of commitment
So everything you had got destroyed

[Bridge]
It's never too late for you to reciprocate
Say, I was just busy
And I'll forgive you like that
If you know that you're over him
It's all chill

[Chorus 2]
But I'm just a boy
I don't understand
(Yeah, I don't understand, oh)
How it feels to be wanted
I swear I'd at least text him back
I'd listen to him
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cause she's afraid of commitment
So everything you had got destroyed
But I'm just a boy…

Fin.
Feel empowered my boiz.
