I don't want nobody telling me what to do
I don't want nobody telling me what to do
Oh, I'm gonna leave you darlin' cause I'm just as grown as you

I don't want nobody telling me this and that
I don't want nobody telling me this and that
Oh, I'm gonna leave you darling cause I don't go for that

You drink your whiskey, I'll drink my wine
You tend to your business and I'll tend to mine

I don't want nobody telling me how to live my life
Oh, I'm gonna leave you darling, just don't want to be your wife

Well you used to boss your girl, that I won't deny
Before I let you boss me I'm gonna lay down and die

I don't want nobody telling me what to do
I don't want nobody telling me what to do
Oh, I'm gonna leave you, darlin', cause I'm just as grown as you
