David Bowie - Boss Of Me Lyrics






Tell me when you're sad
I wanna 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 weep
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

  1. J.... G....

    I love the use of trumpet in this song. Used at the perfect times.

  2. N.... C....

    Pure love

  3. s.... ....

    Tony Levin playing Stick... brilliant

    s.... ....

    I think that's actually his funk fingers (the drumstick-thingies), probably on a fretless. Listen to the attack of the notes, and the occasional vibrato in them. Still, absolutely incredible.

  4. V.... i....

    You are the boss of me

  5. N.... K....

    your my everything david. im sorry

  6. r.... d....

    Dime cuando estés triste quiero q te sientas fresh otra vez.
    Sé que te sientes mal....avisa cuando estés fresca otra vez

  7. M.... M....

    I really, really love the build up from 2:08 to 2:36. When I listen to it, I like to imagine a woman singing Bowie's last line while Bowie sings ''And under these winds of steel, this old man dies.''

    M.... M....

    this small town dies is what he says though.

    M.... M....

    I know.

    M.... M....

    Best part of the song, so beautiful


    "And under these wings of steel, a small town diiiiieeeeees..."

  8. Z.... C....

    The tears on your lips
    Life has your mind and soul
    It spins on your hipsWho'd have ever thought of it
    Who'd have ever dreamedWho'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 meYou look at me and you weep
    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 diesWho'd have ever thought of it
    Who'd have ever dreamedWho'd have ever thought of it
    Who'd have ever dreamed
    That a small town girl like you
    Would be the boss of meWho'd have ever thought of it
    Who'd have ever dreamed

    Would be the boss of me
    Would be the boss of me
    Would be the boss of me

    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

    You look at me and you weep
    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
