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

There ain't nothin' I can do, or nothin' I can say That folks don't criticise me, But I'm going to do just as I want to anyway, And don't care if you all despise me! If I should take a notion To jump into the ocean, 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do! If I go to church on Sunday, Then just shimmy down on Monday, 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do! If my friend ain't got no money, And I say, "Take all mine, honey", 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do! If I give him my lasy nickel, And it leaves me in a pickle, 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do! There, I'd rather my man was hittin' me, Than to jump right up and quittin' me, 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do! I swear I won't call no copper If I'm beat up by my papa, 'T ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do!

Lord Lord, Lord Lord, Lord It ain't nobody's business if I do Some of these days, I'm goin' crazy I'm gonna buy me a shotgun and shoot my baby But ain't nobody's business Ain't nobody's business if I do And if I should take a notion To go down there and jump in that ocean It ain't nobody's business Ain't nobody's business if I do You know, Willie, I can if I choose To walk down the street with my lightbulb shoes (I gotta see that) It ain't nobody's (nobody) business if I do (nobody, nobody) Well, the Lord gave me my own mind to think And I don't choose what and just how much to drink Ain't nobody's business If I do, if I do (yes) One day I'll have chicken and dumplings The next day I ain't got nothin' But ain't nobody's business It ain't nobody's business if I do And if I attend church on Sunday And a cabaret all day Monday But it ain't nobody's business It ain't nobody's business if I do And if I stay out all night And spend my money, well, that's alright 'Cause it ain't nobody's business Ain't nobody's business if I do Lord, Lord, Lord Lord, Lord, Lord It ain't nobody's business Ain't nobody's business if I do Thank you very much

Well, here comes trouble in a pair of tight jeans Fit to be tied bustin' at the seams Got a bead on me, she's a shootin' this way I'm under the gun should I run or stay? On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do She's got me wide-eyed tongue-tied beside myself I'm tore up talk me down I might need help Hold me back boys, I ain't thinkin' straight My head's cryin' run but my heart's sayin' wait On one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, on one hand I'm thinkin' that I better lay low But then on the other what a way to go What kind of fix have I got me into? Well, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do Yeah, I'm darned if I don't, danged if I do
