can't mind my own business

there's times

there's times when i look around

there's times when i look up and down

up and down my street

and i'm not very pleased

complain

you complain behind a twitching blind

writing strong-worded letters to the times

and you might even post them

if you dared go outside

i can't mind my own business

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble

i can't mind my own business

yeah

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble with you

there were times

there were times when i truly believed

that everybody was out to get me

i know that's no longer true

'cos now they're out to get you

and these days

these days there's a kitchen knife

at the bottom of every bag for life

so keep yourself to yourself

or you'll end up in a canal

i can't mind my own business

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble

i can't mind my own business

yeah

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble with you

with you

i can't mind my own business

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble

i can't mind my own business

yeah

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble

i can't mind my own business

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble

i can't mind my own business

yeah

that's why i'm never

never out of trouble with you
