When I was just a child
My folks would drive me wild
They’d spy upon my every move
Until it drove me to despair
They told me what to wear
They told me not to cut my hair
But that’s all over now
I had to tell them anyhow

It’s my affair
Where I go and what I do
It’s my affair oh yeah
It’s my affair
It’s up to me and not to you
It’s my affair

That’s how I want to keep it
I kissed the boy in secret
Thrilled me to the very core
I couldn’t stop I wanted more and
I didn’t hear the door and
They caught me on the floor
With my affair

And when we first got wed
We used to stay in bed
All day and night all night and day
We bedded half our lives away
But that’s all over now
We move in higher circles
Chomping through the upper crust
I couldn’t see you for the dust
And then you met that girl
Who left you with your money spent
And now it’s no concern of yours
If I sleep with the President
It’s my affair
And if I don’t come home tonight
It’s my affair alright
It’s my affair
Who I see is up to me
It’s my affair

That’s how I want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Hiding in the parking lot
Is just as far as I have got
If the phone should ring and
There’s no one there
Then it’s my affair

Eso es asunto de ella (This is her affair)
Donde va y lo que hace (Where she goes and what she does)

Well it’s all over now
You’ve seen the last of me
And I don’t have to put up with you
Giving me the third degree
So you go on your way
And don’t come sneaking round the back door
Trying to get yourself back in
Where you’re not wanted anymore
It’s my affair
Shoodoloowapbob
Shoodolowap
It’s my affair oh yeah
It’s my affair
Who I see is up to me
It’s my affair
That’s how I want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Making eyes at perfect strangers
I know that it could be dangerous
So if the phone should ring and
There’s no one there
Then it’s my affair
