Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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, say, "Here I am"
Then I hear the back door slam
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 make up 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
[Chorus]

You got a gal you love on Sunday
You are in love with one girl on Sunday
Then you get another for Monday
But on Monday you have another girl
Ain't nobody's business but my own
It's no one's concern but my own
You say you're always home alone
You claim to always be alone at home
How come I can't get you on the phone?
But I can't reach you by phone?
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
But it's not for anyone else to worry about
All night long you're playin' poker
You play poker all night long
Tell me, what's the name of that joker?
Who is that person you play with?
Now you ain't so smart and you ain't good-lookin'
You're not very intelligent or attractive
How come you got so much cookin'?
So why do you have so much success?
Ain't nobody's business but my own
But it's still not anyone else's business
You tell me you're in bed by seven
You say you go to bed at seven
But your light's on past eleven
Yet your light is still on at eleven
Well, that ain't nobody's business but my own
But it's still none of my concern
And you wear the prettiest ties and collars
You wear the most beautiful ties and collars
Whereabouts do you get those dollars?
But where do you get the money to buy them?
Well, I'll be there the next time that you call
I promise to be there the next time you call
Well, let's not fuss and let's not fight
Let's avoid arguing or fighting
I'm sick and tired of sayin' goodnight
I'm tired of saying goodnight and leaving
Well, let's make up and hold each other tight
So let's make up and embrace tightly
We both know we're birds of a feather
We both know we have a lot in common
Let's go into business together
So let's start a business together
We can start a business of our own
We can have our own business, just the two of us
