There ain`t nothing I can do 
Nothing I can say 
That folks criticize me 
But I`m gonna do just as I want to anyway 
I don`t care just what people say 

If I should take a notion 
To jump into the ocean, nobody`s business 
If I go to church on Sunday 
Even cabaret on Monday, nobody`s business 

Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 

Ain`t nobody`s business 
Ain`t nobody`s business 

I swear that I won`t call no copper 
If I`m beat up, beat up, beat up, beat up 
Beat up by my papa 

If I should take a notion 
To jump into the ocean, nobody`s business 
If I go to church on Sunday 
Even cabaret on Monday, nobody`s business 

Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 
Ain`t nobody`s business if I do 

Ain`t nobody`s business 
Ain`t nobody`s business
