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... When you get off...your trip Don't you worry 'bout a thing... Don't you worry 'bout a thing... 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... When you get it off...your trip 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
