Текст песни Payin' the Cost to Be the Boss - B.B. King

You act like you don't wanna listen
When I'm talkin' to you
You think you oughta do, baby
Anything you wanna do

You must be crazy, baby
You just gotta be out of your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills woman
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

I'll drink if I wanna
And play a little poker, too
Don't you say nothin' to me
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
It's not the way I'm supposed to live

You must be crazy, waman
Just gotta be outa your mind
As long as I'm footin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

Now that you got me
You act like you ashamed
You don't act like my woman
You just usin' my name
I tell ya I'm gonna handle all the money
And I don't want no back talk
'Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'
Just pick up your things and walk

You gotta be crazy, baby
Oh you must be out of your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
