Uptight (Everything's Alright)

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, out of sight

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

The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back

But I'm the envy of every 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 out of style

But it's alright if my clothes aren't new

Out of sight because my heart is true

She says, baby everything is alright

Uptight, out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight

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 butlers and maids

She says no one is better than I

I know I'm just an average guy

No football hero or smooth Don Juan

Got empty pockets, you see I'm a poor man's son

Can't give her things that all the money can buy

But I'll never, never, never make my baby cry

'Cause it's alright, what I can't do

Out of sight because my heart is true

She says, baby everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, yeah, yeah

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight
