Uptight (Everything’s Alright)

Baby, everything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right, 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
Think about stepping on the town for a while
But money's low and my suit's 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 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 poorman'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'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, way out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, way out of sight
Baby, everything is alright, uptight, way out of sight
Baby, yeah, uptight
