Paying the Cost To Be the Boss

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
