[Verse 1]
If the wife and I start fussin', brother, that's our right
'Cause me and that sweet woman got a licence 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' mine

[Verse 2]
Oh, the woman on our party line's a nosy 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
For if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

[Verse 3]
Well, I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle at her every time she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business?
Mind your own business
For if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine

[Verse 4]
If I wanna honky tonk-around 'til two or three
Now, brother, that's my headache, don't you worry bout me
Why don't you mind your own business?
Mind your own business
For if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine
