What's That to You

(Melanie Thompson)

These lyrics describe how I feel about nosey people. And what I am thinking when they stick their noses in my life. Can anyone relate? I think so.

Verse 1. 
 I if didn't trade my baby 
 for a sinless reputation.

 Refused to marry rich
 to stay on permanent vacation.

 Will not deny my calling. 
 Work in a lame vocation. 

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

 If I stay out all night.
 Go on a little bender.

 If I like my body fat. 
 Nice and round. Not slender.

 If I lose all my money
 gambling with a swindler.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

Chorus. 
 What I think.
 What I don't do.
 How I live.
 Who I talk to.

 How I vote.
 What my gender is.
 Who I sleep with.
 If or if I don't fit in.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

 
Verse 2.
 If I wear my wife's clothes
 to bed her every night. 

 If I live off the grid. 
 Far away from public eyes.

 If I raised a thousand kittens
 and my house smells like poo.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

Chorus. 
 What I think.
 What I don't do.
 How I live.
 Who I talk to.

 How I vote.
 What my gender is.
 Who I sleep with.
 If or if I don't fit in.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

Bridge.
 Normally, I'm easy-going. 
 Try to keep my tongue to myself.
 But when push comes to shove, 
 friend, I ain't budging.
 Go spend your two cents somewhere else.

Chorus. 
 What I think.
 What I don't do.
 How I live.
 Who I talk to.

 How I vote.
 What my gender is.
 Who I sleep with.
 If or if I don't fit in.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?

Outro.
 What's that to you?
 Karen.
 What's that to you?
 Ken.
 What's that to you?
 Sally.
 What's that to you?
 Ben.

 What's that to you?
 Man I just met.
 What's that to you?
 Woman at the gas pump.
 What's that to you?
 Man in his car giving me the finger.
 What's that to you?
 Woman in the check-out line.

 What's that to you?
 Man who offered me twenty bucks because he thinks I'm a prostitute.
 What's that to you?
 Woman who just locked her car as I walked by.
 What's that to you?
 Security guard following me around in the drugstore.
 What's that to you?
 Policeman pulling me over because I'm black.

 What's that to you?
 Mr. President.
 What's that to you?
 Congressional idiot number one.
 What's that to you?
 Congressional idiot number two.
 What's that to you?
 Congressional idiot number three.

 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?
 What's that to you?
