Everubody'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 standin' 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 fools by smiling faces
*
When you get off your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
*
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, mama
'Cause I'll be standin' in the wings
When you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
