[Intro]
Ah
Ah, ah

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

[Chorus]
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]
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
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

[Refrain]
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
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
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

[Outro]
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
