Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, if you're moving too fast
Don't you want this thing last
But if you start moving slow
Hey, pretty mama, you just will have to go
Because
It's nobody business but my own
It's nobody business but my own
[Verse 2]
No, n-no, n-no, n-no
No, n-no, n-no, no, no
No, n-no, n-no, n-no
No, n-no, n-no, no, no
[Verse 3]
But if you start actin' mean
Then I'll have to mess up the scene
But if you start treatin' me nice
Hey, now baby, I'm gonna have to raise your price
Because it's nobody's business but my own
(It's nobody's business but my own)
It's nobody business but my own
(It's nobody's business but my own)
[Verse 4]
No, n-no, n-no, n-no
No, n-no, n-no, no, no
No, no, no, no (No, n-no, n-no, no)
No, no, no, no, no (No, n-no, n-no, no, no)
[Verse 5]
(Nobody's business) (My man)
No, no
[Verse 6]
Nobody's business
Nobody's business, come on now
Ain't nobody's business, yeah, but my own
Nobody's business, nobody, no, no, no
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business, no, n-no, no, no
(Nobody's business but my own) Ain't nobody's business, yeah, but my own
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business but my own
(Nobody's business but my own)
[Verse 7]
No, n-no, no, no (Nobody's business but my own)
No, n-no, no, no (Nobody's business but my own)
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business
(Nobody's business but my own) Nobody's business but my own, now
