AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS

Billie Holiday 
Freddie King


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.
