Everybody's got a thing But some don't know how to handle it Always reachin' out in vain Just takin' the things not worth havin' (CHORUS): But don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't you worry baby) '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 Just don't you feel too bad When you get fooled by smiling faces (CHORUS) When you get off your trip Don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing (CHORUS) Everybody needs a change A chance to check out the new You're the only one who sees The changes you take yourself through Don't you worry 'bout a thing Don't you worry 'bout a thing (sweet baby) '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 Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry 'Cause I'll be right here Waitin' for you baby
