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