Everybody's got a thing 

But some don't know how to handle it 

Always reachin' out in vain 

Accepting the things not worth having ... 



Refrain: 

(But) 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 ... 



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 ... 

(Repeat refrain) 

Adlib: 

(Repeat refrain) 



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 ... 

(Repeat chorus)
