Boss Of Me

David Bowie · The Next Day [2013]

Tell me when you're sad

I'm gonna make it cool again

I know you're feeling bad

Tell me when you're cool again



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed

That a small town girl like you

Would be the boss of me



We fly through the night

The tears on your lips

Life has your mind and soul

It spins on your hips



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed

That a small town girl like you

Would be the boss of me

Would be the boss of me

Would be the boss of me



You look at me and you reach for the free blue sky

I look to the stars as they flicker and float in your eyes

And under these wings of steel the small town dies



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed

That a small town girl like you

Would be the boss of me



Who'd have ever thought of it

Who'd have ever dreamed

That a small town girl like you

Would be the boss of me

Would be the boss of me

Would be the boss of me
