There ain't nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
That folks don't 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
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
Ain't nobody's business
