Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause i'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause i'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...yeah
When you get it off...your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...yeah
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...yeah
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause i'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
