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 hanging 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

And uptight, and 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 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

And 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 the things that money can buy

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

And 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, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha yeah

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, way out of sight

Baby, everything is alright

Uptight, clean out of sight
