Lyrics
THE BOSS
Well you can come from the mountains, or come from the city.
You can come if you're ugly, or even if you're pretty.
You can come if you're wealthy, come if you're poor.
But when you come to Me you won't need nothin' more.
Cuz I'm the Boss, leading you all from My heart.
To save you from loss, I carried the cross I'm the Boss.
(1st time only--STOP!! Spoken: Now Listen here!)
Now you can follow the rules or make 'em up as you go.
Break 'em yourself and then say it ain't so.
But you can turn it around by acceptin' the truth.
And just believe on Me and you won't need any proof.
Cuz I'm the Boss, leading you all from My heart.
To save you from loss, I carried your cross I'm the Boss.
Don't ask don't tell might seem like a plan,
But a wrong is a wrong, whatever the land.
You can hide from the end of the scene that you started,
But taken all the blame, you know, it's My special callin'
Cuz I'm the Boss, leading you all from My heart.
To save you from loss, I carried the cross I'm the Boss...Yes I Am
I carried the cross I'm the Boss, I'm your Boss, yes I Am, Ha!.
