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 track

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 my suits 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 she 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 partners and maids

she said no one is better than i

i know i'm just an average guy

no football hero or smooth don one got empty pockets

you see i'm a poor man's son

can't give her the things that money can buy

he'll never never make my baby cry

and it's alright what i can do

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

baby everything is alright

uptight out of sight

baby everything is alright

uptight out of sight baby

everything is alright uptight out of sight

baby everything
