There ain't nothin' I can do or nothin' 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
