Lyric Payin The Cost To Be The Boss

You act like you wanna listen when I m talkin to you
You think you oughta 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 wanna, and play a little poker too
I don t want to hear nothin from ya
As long as I m takin care of you
As long as I m workin baby, payin all the bills
I don t want no mouth from you bout the way I m supposed to live

You must be crazy baby
You just gotta be, outta your mind
As long as I m footin the bill
I m payin the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me huh, you act like you re ashamed
You don t act like my man - you re just usin my name
I m gonna have all the money baby
I don t want no back talk
You don t like how I m doin
You can pick up your things and walk

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
