Lyrics Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday

Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do

There ain't nothin' I can do or nothin' 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

Ain't nobody's business if I do

If I go to church on Sunday, then cabaret all day Monday

Ain't nobody's business if I do

If my man ain't got no money and I say, "Take all of mine, honey"

Ain't nobody's business if I do

If I give him my last nickel and it leaves me in a pickle

Ain't nobody's business if I do

Well, I'd rather my man would hit me

Than follow him to jump up and quit me

Ain't nobody's business if I do

I swear I won't call no copper, if I'm beat up by my papa

Ain't nobody's business if I do, nobody's business

Ain't nobody's business, nobody's business if I do
