Yeah, 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

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

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby
'cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
When you get it off your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Come on!

Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to sees
The changes you take yourself through

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Pa-pa-p, pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-p, pa-pa-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

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

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 don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'cause I'll be standing
I'll be standing by you

Don't you worry 'bout a thing
