[Intro: Trina]
Who was, who was the boss?
[Verse 1: Trina]
Fancy me
I thought I had my degree in life
And how love ought to be right
I had a one-step plan to prove it
A guide in my pocket for fools
Fallin' in love
Love had to show me one thing
[Chorus: Tamar]
I was so right
So right, yeah
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
And I was so, so sure
But, but love, but love, but love
Taught me who was
Who was the boss
[Verse 2: Trina]
I defy
Anyone who claimed that I
Didn't control whatever moved
In my soul
I could touch, touch delight
But just because you fell for me
Why should I feel uptight?
Love had to show me one thing
[Chorus: Tamar]
I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
And I was so, so sure
But, but love, oh love
Taught me who was
Who was the boss
[Break: Trina / *Tamar*/ "Towanda"]
Love taught me
*Taught me*
"Taught me"
*Yeah-yeah, I was*
[Chorus: Tamar]
I was so right
So right
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
(So sure)
I was so, so sure
But, love, oh love
Taught me who was
Who was the boss
I was so right
So right, yeah
Thought I could turn emotion
On and off
(So sure)
I was so, so sure
But love, but love, but love
Taught me who was
Who was the boss
[Bridge/Outro: Towanda / *Trina* / "Tamar"]
(Love, taught me)
The boss, love has taught me
(Love taught me, who was the boss)
Who was the boss, hey-yeah
(Love, taught me)
*Thought I could turn emotions
On and off, on and off, on and off*
(Love taught me, who was the boss)
*You are my baby, show me emotions
Just let me feel you, baby*
(Love, taught me)
"Ooh, turn me on
And ooh, turn me on
Yeah, yeah, ah yeah
Said, whoo - turn me off
I said, whoo - turn me off
Who was, who was, who was"
(Who was the boss)
"Who, who was the boss"
(Love, taught me)
"Love taught me who was
Said, who was the boss"
Who was, who was the boss?
