Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss

(album: True Love - 1991)

You act like you wanna listen when I'm talking 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 paying the bills
I'm paying the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if I wanna, and play a little poker too
I don't want to hear nothing from ya
As long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm working baby, paying 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 footing the bill
I'm paying 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 using my name
I'm gonna have all the money baby
I don't want no back talk
You don't like how I'm doing
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 paying the bills
I'm paying the cost to be the boss
