[Intro]
I have to tell you, uh, something about my relationship, something that took me a long time to admit to myself. But I think it could be liberating

[Verse 1]
Living together is easy at first, you want to please so you put in the effort
But the more time passes, the harder it gets, and the more you disagree on everything
You say “morning,” the other says “evening,” you want it before, the other wants it after
Some choose to fight, but I have to tell you, she won

[Chorus] I’m not the boss
In my relationship, I’m not the boss
I don’t decide anything, I’m not the boss
At home, I’m not the boss
I can lie to my friends but I’m not the boss
I’d like to be a man but I’m not the boss
I can lie to myself but it’s Not me, the boss
I can act like the alpha male, but I’m not the boss
I can give my opinion, but I’m not the boss
I can pay the bills, but I’m not the boss
I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss
I could fight, but I don’t have the strength
She’s the one who makes the final decision when we disagree
She’s my girl, not my friend
There’s a hierarchy, I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss

[Verse 2]
Everything’s going well, I’m just not the boss
I’m not going to complain, she’s a good boss
It’s too late, I won’t change anything
She has the final cut, she’s in charge of production
Girl is stubborn, girl It’s really tough
So I just shut my mouth and do it
It’s quicker to let her walk all over me
Sometimes, even when I’m right, I apologize
She’s straightforward, she has nothing to lose
When she has an idea, nothing stops her
Me, I stop before I even have an idea

I’m not going to win the one-on-one
I sulk for two hours and then I’m too lazy
She can sulk for three weeks
She lives her life but talks to me in a tone that says “Don’t forget it’s war”
She plays on my nerves, she dodges me, I depend on her, I don’t know how to do it
I want sunshine, she wants snow so I’m asking about skis
I speak Chinese, she speaks Thai, I suggest Japanese food, and she says Thai.
So I’m eating a papaya salad, but at least I have peace and quiet while I’m eating it.

[Chorus]
I’m not the boss
In my relationship, I’m not the boss
I don’t decide anything, I’m not the boss
At home, I’m not the boss
I can lie to my friends, but I’m not the boss
I’d like to be a man, but I’m not the boss
I can lie to myself, but I’m not the boss

[Verse]
Huh
She’s taken control of my life, huh
She’s heroin, I’m her sidekick, huh
I don’t know, it’s not my choice, huh
She’s heroin, I’m her sidekick, huh

[Verse] 3] She won a long time ago, I’m living my best employee life
When you ask me if I’m coming, I say I’m thinking about it, which just means I’ll ask her
At home, I have the supporting role, M. Pokora, she controls me
In front of people I have to keep up appearances so we have a pact where it can’t get out
But
Don’t think I’m going to choose the restaurant, don’t think I’m going to choose the series
Don’t think I’m going to choose the decor, of course I can give my opinion
But don’t think I’m going to override her
I could fight but I don’t have the faith, really, she’s the alpha male
Anyway, I don’t know how to make choices, she makes them for me so actually, she’s made for me
Sometimes, when she sees that I’m fed up, she She lets me decide something
But it’s a bluff, it’s just a way to maintain her dictatorship
Besides, it’s kind of taboo, so please, pretend you don’t know anything
She doesn’t want to come across as a tyrant even if she is one

[Chorus] I’m not the boss
In my relationship, I’m not the boss
I don’t decide anything, I’m not the boss
At home, I’m not the boss
I can lie to my friends but I’m not the boss
I’d like to be a man but I’m not the boss
I can lie to myself but I’m not the boss
I can act like the alpha male but I’m not the boss
I can give my opinion but it’s not me The boss
I can pay the bills, but I’m not the boss
I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss
I could fight, but I don’t have the strength
She’s the one who decides when we disagree
She’s my sweetheart, not my friend
There’s a hierarchy, I’m not the boss, I’m not the boss
