There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say, Some folks will criticize me. So I'm gonna do just what I want to anyway, And don't care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I go to church on sunday And I shimmy down on monday, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
And if my friend ain't got no money And I say, all right, take all of mine honey, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel And it leaves me in a pickle, It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me Than to haul right up and quit me. It ain't nobody's business if I do.
I know that she won't call no copper If she gets beat up by her poppa. It ain't nobody's business if I do, lord no. Well, it ain't nobody's business if I do.
