Paying The Cost To Be The Boss (Original)

Paying The Cost To Be The Boss (Original) - B.B. King

You act like you don't wanna listen

When I'm talkin' to you

You think you outta do baby

Anything you wanna do

You must be crazy, baby

You just gotta be out of your mind

Long as I'm payin' the bill,

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if I wanna

And play a little poker too

I don't you say nothing

As long as I'm takin' care of you

As long as I'm workin', 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 out of your mind

Long as I'm footin' the bill

I'm paying the cost to be the boss

Now that you've got me

You act like you're a shame

You don't act like my baby

You're just usin' my name

But I tell you I'm gonna handle all the money

And I don't wanna no back talk

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 out of your mind

Long as I'm payin' the bill

I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
