Lyrics: Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do
Album: Billie Holiday – The Complete Decca Sessions
Artist: Billie Holiday
 

Porter grainger / everett robbins

There ain’t nothing i can do
Or nothing i can say
That folks don’t criticize me
But i’m going to do
Just as i want to anyway
And don’t care just what people say
If i should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
If i go to church on sunday
Then cabaret all day monday
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
If my man ain’t got no money
And i say “take all mine, honey”
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
If i give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
Well i’d rather my man would hit me
Than for him to jump up and quit me
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
I swear i won’t call no coppers
If i’m beat up by my papa
T’Ain’t nobody’s business if i do
Nobody’s business
Ain’t nobody’s business
Nobody’s business if i do
