Payin’ The Cost To Be The Boss-John Lee Hooker

act You like you don't wanna 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

Play a little poker too

I don't want 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

must You be crazy, baby

Just gotta be out of your mind

As 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

I tell you I'm gonna handle all the money

And I don't wanna no back talk

If you don't like what I'm doin'

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
