"Persuasion / T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do" lyrics

"Persuasion / T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do"
(from "Lady Sings The Blues" soundtrack)

[*applause*]

There ain't nothin' I can do
Oh, nothin' I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm gonna do what I want to
Any way, and I 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 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

I'd rather my man would hit me
Than for him to jump up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if I do

I swear I won't call no coppa
If I'm beat up by my poppa
Ain't nobody's business if I do

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

[*applause*]

Thank you. Thank you, you're sweet
Ah, you're so sweet sometimes. Thank you
Thank you very much
We gonna take a short intermission right here, 'cause the band's gotta pee

We gonna be right back
Bring up your girl, Yvonne, to do a little dance for you
I thank you for your money and your time
Thank you very much

I'm your fan, sugar

You handsome devil, you
I'll be right back
Right back
