The Life (Original 1997 Broadway Cast)
My Body
I've had it up to here
With all these holier than thou
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 them
Until 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 is
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 is
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 nothing because
My body is my business
My business not yours!
I know what I'm doing
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!
With all these holier than thou
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 them
Until 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 is
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 is
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 nothing because
My body is my business
My business not yours!
I know what I'm doing
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!
