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 mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

Oh, 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 mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

If my woman stay out '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 mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

If I get my head beat black and blue
Now that's my wife and my stove wood too
Just mind your own business
(Mind your own business)
If mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

I got a little gal that wears her hair up high,
The boys all whistel when she walks bye
Mind your own business blah blah, you sure won't be minding 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
