Paying the Cost to Be the Boss
Mastering the Blues of Life: Paying the Cost to Be the Boss
Lyrics
You act like you don't want to listen
You appear unwilling to hear or pay attention
When I'm talking to you
Especially when I'm trying to communicate with you
You think you outta do baby
You think you should be the one in control, baby
Anything you want to do
Allowing you to do whatever you desire
You must be crazy baby
You must be irrational or misguided, baby
You just gotta be outta your mind
You must be acting without reason or sense
As long as i'm payin' the bills woman
As long as I'm covering the expenses, woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'm enduring the hardships that come with being the one in charge
I'll drink if i want to
I'll consume alcohol if I choose to
And play a little poker too
And engage in some casual gambling as well
Don't you say nothing to me
Don't criticize or complain to me
As long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm taking care of your needs
As long as I'm workin baby
As long as I'm working, baby
And payin' all the bills
And covering all the financial obligations
I don't want no mouth from you
I don't want to hear complaints or objections from you
About the way I'm supposed to live
About how I'm supposed to lead my life
You must be crazy woman
You must be irrational, woman
Just gotta be outta your mind
You must be acting without reason or sense
As long as i foot the bills
As long as I'm covering the expenses
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'm enduring the hardships of being the one in charge
Now that you got me
Now that you have me
You act like you ashamed
You act as if you're embarrassed or regretful
You don't act like my woman
You don't behave like my committed partner
You just usin' my name
You are merely using my name for personal gain
I tell you I'm gonna have all the money
I assure you I will achieve financial success
And i don't want no back-talk
And I won't tolerate any opposition or complaints
Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'
If you disagree with my actions
Just pick up your things and walk
Simply gather your belongings and leave
You gotta be crazy baby
You must be irrational, baby
You must be outta your mind
You must be acting without reason or sense
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
As long as I'm covering the expenses, woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'm enduring the hardships of being the one in charge
