Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing Lyrics
Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...ooh
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
REPEAT and FADE
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...ooh
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
REPEAT and FADE

Love Stevie, the song to me is about a guy who loves a girl who wants to explore the world and is worried about wether she will lose him if she goes off to do it. The guys saying that is love is strong enough to wait for her. Might be because im a hopeless romantic and me and my girl are going through a rocky patch, and she wants to travel again.
Ironic song about drugs and the need to escape from Wonder's most socially conscious and influential album.
Wow. That comment completely caught me off guard, but it fits the lyrics just as well as ricardo's interpretation. That's why I like this site.

This is what I get of the opening:
This is what I get of the opening:
First he tries to make her believe he really speaks spanish but ends up with a series of incomprehensible yada yada (no spanish in that, believe me :) But he still brags about it:

Say then mama, do you understand that? No. Well, like I'm saying, you can't 'cause I've been to, you know, Paris, Peru, you know I mean, Irak, Iran (...) you know I speak very very uhh fluent spanish. Uhh... "Todo esta bien chevere" (meaning "everything's cool). Esta bien chevere. Chevere, you see my mama... (more yada). The rest you already know......
