'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
Embracing Freedom: Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
Lyrics
There ain't nothing I can do
Expressing a lack of control over the situation.
Or nothing I can say
Indicating a lack of words or actions to change things.
Just what I want to anyway
Emphasizing personal freedom to do what one desires.
And I don't care just what people may say
Disregarding others' opinions or judgments.
And if I, if I take a notion
Considering acting on a whim or impulse.
The jump-off into the ocean
Contemplating a drastic action, such as jumping into the ocean.
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Asserting that one's actions are private and should not be scrutinized.
And if I go to church on Sunday
Mentioning a religious activity on Sunday.
Then cabaret all day Monday
Contrasting with a more carefree lifestyle on Monday.
It ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Reiterating the private nature of personal choices.
If my baby ain't got no money
Addressing financial struggles in a relationship.
And I say take all of mine honey
Indicating a willingness to share resources despite financial challenges.
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Reaffirming the privacy of personal decisions, even in financial matters.
If I give my baby my last nickle, O
Describing a willingness to sacrifice for a loved one.
And it leaves me, leaves me in a pickle
Acknowledging personal difficulties arising from such sacrifices.
It ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Repeating the idea that personal choices are nobody's business.
I'd rather from my baby to hit me
Expressing a preference for emotional pain over abandonment.
Then to jump off and quit me
Rejecting the idea of being abandoned.
Ain't nobody's bizness if I do
Restating the private nature of personal decisions.
Nobody's bizness if I do
Affirming the right to make personal choices independently.
