Lyrics

“Mind Your Own Business”

 

If the wife and I are fussin’, brother that’s our right
‘Cause me and that sweet woman’s got a license to fight
Why don’t you mind your own business
Mind your own business
‘Cause if you mind your business, then you won’t be mindin’ mineOh, the woman on our party line’s the nosiest thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it’s my ring
Why don’t you mind your own business
Mind your own business
Well, if you mind your business, then you won’t be mindin’ mine

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle when she walks by
Why don’t you mind your own business
Mind your own business
Well, if you mind your business, you sure won’t be minding mine

If I want to honky tonk around ’til two or three
Now, brother that’s my headache, don’t you worry ’bout me
Just mind your own business
Mind your own business
If you mind your business, then you won’t be mindin’ mine

Mindin’ other people’s business seems to be high-toned
I got all that I can do just to mind my own
Why don’t you mind your own business
Mind your own business
If you mind your own business, you’ll stay busy all the time
