Lyrics The Boss - James Brown

One, two, get down

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I've paid the cost to be the boss

Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother
Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Look at me
Know what you see
See a bad mother

Huh

Huh, told you so
Told you so

Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn
Havin' fun, got money to burn

'Cause I paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss

Cross the tracks, uh
Turned my back, uh
Cross the tracks, uh
Turned my back, uh

Paid the cost to be the boss
I'm a bad mother, uh
I'm a bad mother

Head for the turn around
Head for the turn around

Told you so

Paid the cost to be the boss
