Standing on the corner of Bleecker, 8th or 9th
Money in my pocket and women on my mind
I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, ain't nobody's daddy now

Here I say the women are the very finest kind
Clacking on them high heels like an engine down the line
I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, I ain't nobody's daddy now

I usually have a woman who worry me to death
Hammers in my pocket and a fool was on my neck
And I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, ain't nobody's daddy now

Got a baby on the East Side, honey on the West
Got a woman uptown, but my downtown gal's the best
I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, ain't nobody's daddy now

Watch this, baby
I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, ain't nobody's daddy now
She's gone
And I'm free, can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me, ain't nobody's daddy now
