It Ain't No Crime

  • I was sittin' outside in the front yard
    Lawn chair, kiddie pool, soakin' up the sun
    Old man walks by and said, "We got this thing called ambition
    Why don't you buy a suit and go get you some?"

    Like he ain't got enough of his own business
    Now he's got to go mindin' mine
    Opportunity knocks and I miss it

    It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
    If I wanna kick back and kill a little time
    It ain't no crime

    I was gettin' some pink in my color
    Next door the lady says, "Why you always layin' around?
    A fine you man like you should be married with some children
    Instead of all these honeys runnin' in and out"

    Like she ain't got enough of her own business
    Now she's got to go mindin' mine
    I don't have a lotta kids and a Mrs.

    It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
    If I wanna kick back and steal a kiss sometime
    It ain't no crime

    If everybody minded their own business
    They'd be too busy to worry 'bout mine
    If I live life the way I wanna live it

    It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime
    If I wanna kick back and chill
    Or steal a kiss from a girl I will every time
    It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime, it ain't no crime Writer/s: MARK NESLER, TOM SHAPIRO, TONY MARTIN
