Watashi and boku can be used by men and women...in fact watashi is considered more formal and boku is more informal. Some women (even me =P) use "ore" as well, and if anything that's considered more male.

Plus like someone else said, boku is only two syllables as opposed to three in watashi. From a songwriter's perspective, every syllable counts.
