The Boss Lyrics
[Intro]
1, 2, get down
[Chorus 1]
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I paid the cost to be the boss
[Chorus 2]
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mother
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mother
[Chorus 1]
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
[Chorus 2]
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mother
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mother
[Bridge]
Told you so!
Told you so!
Having fun, got money to burn
Having fun, got money to burn
Having fun, got money to burn
Having fun, got money to burn
[Chorus 1]
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I paid the cost to be the boss
[Bridge]
Cross the tracks (uh), turned my back
Cross the tracks (uh), turned my back
[Chorus 1]
Paid the cost to be the boss
[Chorus 2]
I'm a bad mother, I'm a bad mother
Head for the turn around
Head for the turn around
Told you so!
[Chorus 1]
Paid the cost to be the boss
