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
*Only the bass notes (E)
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other pla ces
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, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
When you get off your trip
Vamp
Don't you worry bout' a thing
Don't you worry bout' a thing
Verse
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
You're the only one to sees
The changes you take yourself through
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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
Vamp
Don't you worry bout' a thing
Don't you worry bout' a thing
