Don't Hate The Game…

… hate the players?

Ada sebuah lagu yang sekilas terdengar enak didengar di telinga gw…

tapi setelah gw dengerin baik2, ternyata sebagian besar –jika tidak boleh dikatakan semua– yang didesahkan dalam lirik lagu ini sangat akurat dengan tipikal relationship cowo-cewe zaman Indigo ini…

“If I were a girl… I wouldn’t play games”

Pernah nonton Gossip Girl? Film setengah jadul How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days? atau Sex in The City? Meski sekedar film, tp jika kamu jeli melihatnya sebagai ilustrasi dari realita di sekitarmu…

Maka kamu pasti ngerti arti sebenarnya dibalik cuplikan lirik tersebut…

“If you were a boy
then girl you’d understand
you need to stop listening to your friends
love, respect and trust your man”

Sebait lirik yang gw gak perlu ngasih penjelasan panjang lebar, gw kasih salut luar biasa untuk LA Lights yang udah mbikin campaign berikut 😉

Kalo menurut gw, yg diperlukan adalah kesadaran untuk memaklumi kekurangan masing2…

“But you are not a boy,
so you can’t understand
You are not a perfect woman
and I am not a perfect man”

…tapi bukan sekedar pasrah menerima kekurangan. Kalau bisa saling mendukung untuk sama2 becoming a better man and better woman…

Why not?

Inspired by:

If I Were A Boy (Remix)
Beyonce ft. R. Kelly

If I were a boy
even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
and throw on what I wanted and 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 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 taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

(R. Kelly)
If you were a boy
then girl you’d understand
you need to stop listening to your friends
love, respect and trust your man

So I go to clubs with the guys
and sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out
as long as I’m coming home to you
and give you the world

But you are not a boy,
so you dont have a clue (ey)
How I work and pay the bills
girl everything I do is for you (eh eh)

(Beyonce)
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a Boy (Beyonce)

If I were a Girl (Kelly)

I would turn off my phone (Beyonce)

I wouldn’t play games (Kelly)

Tell everyone it’s broken
so they’d think that I was sleeping alone (Beyonce)

Girl you know thats wrong (Kelly)

I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’ll be faithful,
waiting for me to come home, to come home.

But you are not a boy,
so you can’t understand
You are not a perfect woman
and I am not a perfect man (remix,remix)

I’d listen to her (eh eh)
Cause I know how it hurts (Kelly: and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

Kelly: Said I’m sorry

It’s a little too late for you to come back

but I cant let you go
cause I’m too attached (Kelly)

If you thought I would wait for you
you thought wrong

But you’re just a boy
