Paying The Cost To Be The Boss (Live At The BBC / 1989) - B.B. King

Written by：B.B. King

You act like you don't wanna listen

When I'm talk at you

You think you outta do baby

Anything you wanna do

Is that a big crazy baby

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 it

And play a little poker too

I don't want to say nothing

As long as I'm taking care of you

As long as I'm workin baby

As long as I'm payin' the bills

I don't want no mouth on you

But the way I'm supposed to live

You got a big crazy baby

Just gotta be outta your mind

As long as I'm paying 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 baby

You just usin' my name

But I tell you I'm gonna have money

I don't want go back talk

You don't like what I'm doin'

Pick up your things and walk

You gotta be crazy baby

Just gotta be outta your mind

As long as I'm payin' the bills

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
