Every - body'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

But don't you worry about a thing,
Am F Bb
Don't you worry about a thing, mama,

'Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out!

When you get fooled by smiling faces!

Don't you worry about a thing,
Am F Bb
Don't you worry about a thing, mama,

A chance to check out the new

But you're the only one who sees
Cm F Bb
The changes you take yourself through
