Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness

[Verse]
There ain't nothing I can do, nor nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
So I'm going to do just as I want to anyway
Don't care if people should despise me

[Chorus]
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Lord, 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do do do do
Rather than persecute me
I choose that you would shoot me
And 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do
I'm wild about a caveman lover
Really, I wouldn't have no other
And, 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do do do do do do do
If I've loved from a rich man to a beggar
And I feel like getting myself a bootlegger
Lord, 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If I never call a copper
When I get beat up by my papa
Lord, 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do do do do
I'd rather he would hit me
Than to jump right up and quit me
And 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do
If I attend church on Sunday
Feel like strutting my stuff on a Monday
Lord, 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do do do do do do do
I'll do just what I love to
'Cause I feel I'm old enough to
And 'tain't nobody's biz-ness if I do
