B.b. King

You act like you dont want to listen

When Im talking to you

You think you outta do baby

Anything you wanna do

You must be crazy baby

You just gotta be outta your mind

As long as Im payin the bills woman

Im payin the cost to be the boss

Ill drink if I want to

And play a little poker too

Dont you say nothing to me

As long as Im taking care of you

As long as Im workin baby

And payin all the bills

I dont want no mouth from you

About the way Im supposed to live

You must be crazy woman

Just gotta be outta your mind

As long as I foot the bills

Im payin the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me

You act like you ashamed

You dont act like my woman

You just usin my name

I tell you Im gonna have all the money

And I dont want no back-talk

Cause if you dont like the way Im doin

Just pick up your things and walk

You gotta be crazy baby

You must be outta your mind

As long as Im payin the bills woman

Im payin the cost to be the boss
