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 but

Don'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

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 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...ooh

Don'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

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the olny one to see
The changes you take yourself through but

Don'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 out

Don't worry 'bout a thing
