Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing
Stevie Wonder · Other Songs - Stevie Wonder
EverybodyÂ’s got to pay
But some donÂ’t know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking the things that are not worth having
Chorus:
DonÂ’t you worry bout a thing (2x)
Sugar
And when you're standing on the side when you check it out
They say your style of lifeÂ’s a drag,
And some don't go other places,
Just donÂ’t you feel too bad,
When you get fooled by smiling faces,
Chorus:
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing (2x)
Sugar
And when you're standing on the side when you check it out
When you get of your trip
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing (2x)
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
Sugar
And when you're standing on the side when you check it out
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
You're the only one to see
The changes that we've been through
Chorus:
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry, Don't you worry
And when you're standing on the sides when you check it out
DonÂ’t you worry bout a thing. (3x)
DonÂ’t worry (5x) (fade)
