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 poorman'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 stepping on the town

For a while my 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 all right

Uptight, out of sight

Baby, everything is all right

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is all right

Uptight, out of sight

I'm 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 give her the things

That money can buy but I'll never

Never never make my baby cry

And it's all right

What if I can't do

Out of sight because my heart is true

She says baby everyt¬hing is all right

Uptight, clean out of sight

Baby, everything is all right

Uptight, clean out of sightNo 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
