Baby, everything is all right Uptight, out of sight Really, everything is all right Uptight, out of sight I'm a poor man's son from across the railroad track Only shirt I own has cream on my back But I'm the envy of every single guy Said I'm the apple of my girl's eye We go out steppin' on the town for a while My money's low and my suit's all styled But it's all right if my clothes aren't new Outside, because my heart is true She said, baby, everything is all right Uptight, out of sight Baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say I guess old folks brought her up that way The right side of track, she was born and raised In a great big old house full of brothers and mates She says, no one is better than I, I know I'm just an average guy, no football hero Smooth on one, got an empty pocket You see, I'm a poor man's son Can't give her the things that money can buy But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry And it's all right what I can't do Outside, because my heart is true She said, baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight Baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight Baby, everything is all right Uptight, baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight Baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight Baby, everything is all right Uptight, clean out of sight
