If Hedda Was a Boy

As I sit here trying to finish my blog posts, I cant help but turn on the radio and just went I thought I was out of ideas, I heard Beyonce's new song and all I could think is: Hedda would so sing this song if she could....next are the lyrics, hope you read and interpret them....really good song....enjoy

If I Were A Boy by Beyoncé
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Cause they'd stick up for me
'''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'''
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waitin' for me to come home (to come home)
'''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'''
It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake
Think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
'''But you're just a boy
You don't understand
Yeah you don't understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You 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've taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy'''

i luv this song and it does relate to Hedda in a way, She was neglected by Tesman, all he was concerned about was how to make money to provide for hedda, he treated her as a trophy wife but not as a woman he truly loved and appreciated. I look at hedda through these lyrics and now i see a woman who was truly hurting on the inside.

i don't know for some reason, in my mind, i just CAN'T let Hedda actually have emotions & feelings.
i think of Hedda as this manipulative robot.
i love that beyonce song though..can't wait for the album!

Well I can see where your coming from and I bet many people feel the same, but I kinda always wanna see the good in her, because I really see her as a victim!
