Oh well I feel so loose tonight I might fall to pieces
So be prepared to sweep me out the door
And I might be horizontal by the time the music ceases
So I think I`ll get accuainted with the floor
Oh I was tryin` a get away from the things that I alway do
Hello floorboards once again, how are you?
Chorus:
Lip service, that`s all you ever get from me
Well how could you believe I`d take you seriously
With your cheap rewards, your blackmail and your comical rage
You just remember you`ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
All the sign posts on this road they point one way
Don`t act like your above me just look at your shoes
I`ll turn the light out now `cause ther`s nothin` more to say
And it`s all been lost before, so there`s nothin` to lose
Oh, but you could say that you love me very painlessly
I would`a done the same for you, oh but you said to me
-chorus-
Just remember you`ll only be the boss so long as you pay my wage
