You act like you don't want to listen
When I'm talking to you
You think you outta do baby
Anything you wanna do
You gotta be crazy baby
Just gotta be outta your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'll drink if I want to
And play a little poker too
Don't you say nothing to me
As long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm workin baby
And as long as I'm payin' the bills
I don't want no mouth from you
About the way I'm supposed to live
You gotta be crazy baby
Just gotta be out of your mind
As long as I pay 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 baby
You just usin' my name
But I tell you I'm gonna have all the money
And I don't want no back talk
If you don't like the way I'm doin'
Pick up your things and walk
Gotta be crazy baby
Just gotta be out of your mind
As long as I'm payin' the bills
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
