Uptight [Everything's Alright] lyrics

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), out of sight.

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), out of sight.

I'm a poor man's son from across the railroad track,

Only shirt I own is hangin' on my back,

But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy

Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.

When we go out stepping on the town

For a while my money's low and my suit's so out of style,

But it's (all right) if my clothes aren't new

(Out of sight) because my heart is true.

She says

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), out of sight.

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), ah, clean out of sight.

Oooh-oooh

She's a pearl of a girl

I guess that's what you might say

I guess her folks brought her up that way

The right side of the tracks

She was born and raised

In a great big old house, full of buttlers and maids

She says (no one) is better than I

(I know) I'm just an average guy

No footfall hero or smooth Don Juan

Got empty pockets

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 do

(Out of sight)

Because my heart is true,

She says (baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), clean out of sight.

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), clean out of sight.

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), ah ha ha ha yeah

(Baby), ev'rything is all right

(Uptight), way out of sight.

Baby
