Tain't Nobody's Business If I Do

Tain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do - Bessie Smith/Fletcher Henderson

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 if they 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 do

If I go to church on Sunday

Then just Sing the shimmy down on Monday

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 last nickel

And it leaves me in a pickle

T ain't nobody's bueiness if I do if I do

I'd rather my man would hit me

Than to jump up right and quit 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 poppa

T ain't nobody's business if I do if I do
