'taint Nobody's Business if I
Charlie Parker & Billie Holiday Lyrics
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 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 of 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
Well, I'd rather my man would hit me
Than follow him to jump up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if I do
I swear, I won't call no copper
If I'm beat up by my papa
Ain't nobody's business if I do
Nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
Nobody's business if I 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 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 of 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
Well, I'd rather my man would hit me
Than follow him to jump up and quit me
Ain't nobody's business if I do
I swear, I won't call no copper
If I'm beat up by my papa
Ain't nobody's business if I do
Nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
Nobody's business if I do

she had the Feds breathing down her neck, shiesty managers, a horse habit, she went through it and still handled her adversity like a champ
@KianiKings
She deserved more than anything she ever had, such a diamond...
@lyndelljones5483
Her voice was cracking and she still sounded great. No one sings like her. She's so unique.
@JohnOBurke
This is very late Billie, and her health was failing. The timing is still exquisite, but I prefer the earlier Billie. But it's still all great.
@barbonestreet
I knew Billie Holiday. The bass player in my band today worked with her in the 1950s in Philadelphia. She was always gracious to the musicians who backed her. As far as we are concerned, she was "Lady" Day in every sense of the word. And she could sing with the best of them even though her range was only 8 notes or so. Her inner beauty was apparent to all of us.
@honeybeemonique
This song still rings true today because it isn't anyones business what you do but you..love billie holiday
@silviafigueroa8813
Love it still today
Takes my mind away from this strange world we live in
@Red1Green2Blue3
nah, pretty sure its someone's business if their dad is physically abusing them LOL...song is still great though
@helloviolindonna
her voice is so painful and beautiful. there might be people that sing better than Billie but nobody sings it like Billie.
@linabingbing3881
The abuse she sings bout is heavy. People dance around it in lyrics nowdays...she was straightforward.
