There ain't nothing I can do Or nothing I can say That folks don't criticize me But I'm going to do Just as I want to anyway And don't care just what people say If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean Ain't nobody's business if I do If I go to church on sunday Then cabaret all day monday Ain't nobody's business if I do If my man ain't got no money And I say "take all mine, honey" Ain't nobody's business if I do If I give him my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle Ain't nobody's business if I do But I'd rather my man would hit me Than follow him to jump up and quit me Ain't nobody's business if I do I swear I won't call no copper If I'm beat up by my papa Ain't nobody's business if I do Nobody's business Ain't nobody's business Nobody's business if I do
