There ain't nothin' I can do, or nothin' I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm goin' to do just as I want to anyway
And don't care if they all despise me
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 just shimmy down on Monday
Ain't nobody's business if I do
If my friend 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, if I do
Well, I'd rather my man would quit me
Than for him to stay and use me
Ain't nobody's business if I do
There's no need to call no copper
If no one has heard from my lover
Ain't nobody's business, ain't nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business if I do.
