Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Just talking the things not worth having butDon't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing 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 smiling faces butDon't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
When you check it out...
When you check it out... oohDon't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing 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 olny one to see
The changes you take yourself through butDon't worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it outDon't worry 'bout a thing
