Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking 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, oh

They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
Just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Come on!

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
You're the only one who sees
The changes you can take yourself through

Oh, oh, uh
Oh, uh, uh, oh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

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

Pa-pa-p, pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-p, pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

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

Don't you worry 'bout a thing, yeah
Don't 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

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
I'll be standing by you
Oh don't you worry 'bout a thing
