Boss Of Me Lyrics


Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?

You're not the Boss Of Me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

Life is unfair so I just stare
At the stain on the wall where
The TV'd been but ever since
We've moved in, it's been empty

Why I, why I'm in this room
There is no point explaining

You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

Life is a test but I confess
I like this mess I've made so far
Grade on a curve and you'll observe
I'm right below the horizon

Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
And you're not so big

Life is unfair
