Lyrics
One, two, get down
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I've paid the cost to be the boss
Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother
Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother
Huh
Huh, told you so
Told you so
Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn
'Cause I paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Cross the tracks, uh
Turned my back, uh
Cross the tracks, uh
Turned my back, uh
Paid the cost to be the boss
I'm a bad mother, uh
I'm a bad mother
Head for the turn around
Head for the turn around
Told you so
Paid the cost to be the boss
