Big Boss Man Lyrics

[Chorus]
Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big
You’re just tall, that's all

[Verse 1]
You got me working, boss man, working 'round the clock
I want me a drink of water but you won’t let me stop

[Chorus]
Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big
You just tall, that's all

[Verse 2]
Gonna get myself a boss man, one gonna treat me right
Work him hard in the day time but I'll sure rest easy at night

[Chorus]
Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big
You just tall, that's all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
