There ain't nothin' I can do
Nor nothin' I can say
That folks don't cri ti cize me
But I'm gonna do just as I want to anyway
I don't care if they all des pise me
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
It ain't nobody's business if I do
Rather than persecute me
I choose that you would shoot me
It ain't nobody's business if I do
If I should get the feelin'
To dance up on the ceiling'
It ain't nobody's business if I do
If I let my best companion
Drive me right into the canyon
It ain't nobody's business if I do
Regardless of their talkin'
Often times the ones that talk will get down on their knees
And beg your pardon for their squakin'
If I dis like my lover
And leave (him/her) for another
It ain't nobody's business if I do
If I go to church on Sunday
Then caba ret on Monday
It ain't nobody's business if I do
If my friend ain't got no money
And I say, "Take all mine honey"
It ain't nobody's business if I do
If I lend (him/her) my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
It ain't nobody's business if I do
