Paying The Cost To Be The Boss - John Lee H****r/B.B. King

You act like you don't want to listen

When I'm talking to you

You think you outta do baby

Anything you wanna do

You must be crazy baby

You just gotta be outta your mind

As long as I'm payin' the bills

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if I want to

And play a little poker too

Don't you say nothing to me

As long as I'm taking care of you

As long as I'm working baby

And payin' all the bills

I don't want no mouth from you

About the way I'm supposed to live

You must be crazy woman

Just gotta be outta your mind

As long as I foot the bills

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me

You act like you ashamed

You don't act like my woman

You just usin' my name

I tell you I'm gonna have all the money

And I don't want no back talk

'Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'

Just pick up your things and walk

You gotta be crazy baby

You must be outta your mind

As long as I'm payin' the bills

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
