There ain't nothin' I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to anyway
And I don't care just what people say

If I should take a notion to jump into the ocean
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say take all mine honey
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

If I give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

I swear I won't call no coppa if I'm beat up by my poppa
T'ain't nobody's bizness if I do

Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if I do
