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

     D         Em           G           A 
Like he ain't got enough of his own business 
D        Em        G        A 
Now he's got to go mindin' mine 
D     Em     G           A 
Opportunity knocks and I miss it 
 D       Em  A 
It ain't no crime 
 D       Em  A 
It ain't no crime 
D           Em           G      A      D 
If I wanna kick back and kill a little time 
Em       G   A 
It ain't no crime 

I was gettin' some pink in my color 
Next door lady says, why you always layin' 'round 
Fine you man like you 
Should be married with some children 
Instead of all those honeys 
Running in and out 

Chorus 
Like she ain't got enough of her own business 
Now she's got to go mindin' mine 
I don't have a lot of kids and a Mrs. 
It ain't no crime, it ain't no crime 
If I wanna kick back and steal a kiss some time 
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 

Oh yeah and the bridge is just: D Em G, A
