[Intro]
It's alright when you got a thing
Check it out, everybody sing
It's alright when you got a thing
Check it out, everybody sing

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Accepting the things that are not worth having

[Chorus]
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

[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]
And 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 (Check it out)
When you get off, baby, baby, baby, yeah, yeah
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't worry)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't worry)
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
'Cause I'll be standing in the side
When you check it out (Check it out)
Whenever you get off, baby, oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Oh, everybody's got a thing
But don't you know they don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Accepting the things that are not worth having

[Chorus]
And 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
And don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't worry)
And don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't worry)
[Outro]
No, don't you worry 'bout it
No, no, no, no baby, no baby, no baby, no, no no (Don't worry)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, no baby (Don't worry)
Don't you worry, don't you worry, no, no baby, no no no
No, no, no, baby, no, no, no baby (Don't worry)
Don't you worry, don't you worry, no, don't you worry, don't you worry
