My Body
From the 1997 Broadway musical "The Life"

Music by Cy Coleman
Lyrics by Ira Gasman

I've had it up to here
With all this holier-than-thous
Who want to save me
From the devils wicked den
When all they really want
Is what those jokers always want
And when they get it we don't see 'em
Till they want it again

Don't quote me no commandments
Don't preach me no jive
There's only one commandment
"Thou shall survive"

Maybe I'm a sinner
But who's gonna cast the first stone?
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
(Nobody's business but my own)

What if I'm a sinner?
Hey, I ain't exactly alone
It's my body and my body's
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own, nobody, no!

All those uptown ladies look and dress so fine
They can sell it their way
Let me sell it mine!

Maybe you don't like it
Maybe you don't like it
But that don't mean nothin' because
My body is my business
My business, not yours!

I know what I'm doin'
I know who I am
If you've got a problem
I don't give a damn!
(I don't give a damn, I don't give a damn)

Ain't no doubt about it
Ain't no doubt about it
'Cause baby, it's written in stone

It's my body, not your body
My body is my business
My business is my business and
Nobody's business...
(Nobody's business, nobody's business)

Nobody's business but my own!
