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 the 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 for 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 popper
Ain't nobody's business if I do

Nobody's business, ain't nobody's business
Nobody's business if I do
