Lyrics

You act like you don't wanna listen When I'm talkin' to you You think you outta do, baby Anything you wanna do You gotta be crazy, baby You just gotta be out of your mind As long as I'm payin' the bills I'm payin' the cost to be the boss I'll drink if I wanna And play a little poker too Don't you say nothing to me As long as I'm takin' care of you As long as I'm workin', baby And payin' all the bills I don't want no mouth from you About the way I'm supposed to live You gotta be crazy, baby Just gotta be out of your mind As long as I'm paying the bills I'm paying the cost to be the boss (oh) Now that you got me You act like you're ashamed You don't act like my baby You're just using my name But I tell you, I'm gonna have all the money And I don't want no back talk If you don't like what I'm doing, baby Pick up your things and walk You gotta be crazy, baby Just gotta be out of your mind As long as I'm payin' the bills I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
