I'll [A]drink if I want to
And play a little poker too
[A]Don't you say nothing to me
As long as I'm taking care of you
[A]As long as I'm workin' baby
And payin' all the bills

About the way I'm supposed to [D]live

[A]Now that you got me
You act like you ashamed
[A]You don't act like my woman
You just usin' my name
[A]I tell you I'm gonna have all the money
And I don't want no back-talk
[A]Cause if you don't like the way I'm doin'
Just pick up your things and [D]walk
You gotta be crazy baby
[A]You must be out of you[A]r mind
[E]As long as I'm payin' the bills
[D]I'm payin' the cost to be the bos[A]s
