Stevie Wonder – Uptight (Everything's Alright) lyrics

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 steppin’ on the town for a while
My money's low and my suits are 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, and clean out of sight

(Instrumental Break)

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 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 never, never, never make my baby cry

But, 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, ha, ha, ha, yeah
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean out of sight
