Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Just takin' the things not worth having butDon't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standin' on the side
When you check it outThey 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 smilin' faces butDon't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standin' on the side
When you check it outWhen you get off, your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thingDon't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standin' on the side
When you check it out
When you get off, your tripEverybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through butBut 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 outDon't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
