[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing

[Chorus 2]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing in the side
When you check it out
When you get off your trip

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
But 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

[Outro]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, ooh
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Yeah

Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, sugar
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Don't you worry 'bout a thing hey
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, sugar
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing....
