"Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own" lyrics

Kay Starr & Tennessee Ernie Ford Lyrics

"Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own"

You got a gal you love on Sunday
Then you get another for Monday
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You say you're always home alone
How come I can't get you on the phone
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

All night long you're playin' poker
Tell me what's the name of that joker
Ain't nobody's business but my own
I come over and say, "Here I am!"
Then I hear the back door slam
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

You tell me you're in bed by seven
But your light's on past eleven
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
Now you ain't so smart and you ain't good lookin'
How come you got so much cookin'
Ain't nobody's business but my own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but my own

And you wear the prettiest ties and collars
Whereabouts do you get those dollars?
Ain't nobody's business but my own
You always talk about settlin' down
When I bring a ring, you're not around
Well, I'll be there the next time that you call
Well let's not fuss and let's not fight
I'm sick and tired of sayin', "Goodnight"
Well, let's makeup and hold each other tight
We both know we're birds of a feather
Let's go into business together
We can start a business of our own

Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but our own
Nobody's business
Nobody's business
Nobody's business but our own
