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 of 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

Well 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
