Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do — Billie Holiday

Porter grainger / everett robbins

There aint nothing I can do

Or nothing I can say

That folks dont criticize me

But Im going to do

Just as I want to anyway

And dont care just what people say

If I should take a notion

To jump into the ocean

Aint nobodys business if I do

If I go to church on sunday

Then cabaret all day monday

Aint nobodys business if I do

If my man aint got no money

And I say "take all mine, honey"

Aint nobodys business if I do

If I give him my last nickel

And it leaves me in a pickle

Aint nobodys business if I do

But Id rather my man would hit me

Than follow him to jump up and quit me

Aint nobodys business if I do

I swear I wont call no copper

If Im beat up by my papa

Aint nobodys business if I do

Nobodys business

Aint nobodys business

Nobodys business if I do
