Mind Your Own Business

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right

'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight

Why don't you mind your own business

(Mind your own business)

'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing

She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring

Why don't you mind your own business

(Mind your own business)

Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,

the boys all whistle when she walks by.

why don't you mind your own buisness

(Mind your own business)

Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine.

If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three

Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me.

Just mind your own business

(Mind your own business)

If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.

Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned

I got all that I can do just to mind my own

Why don't you mind your own business

(Mind your own business)

If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time
