Uptight (Eveything's Alright) Songtext
von Mark G. Meadows

Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right

I′m a poor man's son, I′m across the railroad track
The only shirt I own is hanging on my back
But I'm the envy of every single guy
'Cause I′m the apple of my girl′s eye
When we go out stepping on the town for a while
Money is 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

Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
It′s uptight, out of sight
Said, baby, everything is all right
(It's all right, it′s all right)


She's a pearl of a girl, guess that's what you might say
Guess her folks brought her up that way
On the right side of the tracks, she was born and raised
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids
She said, "No one is better than I"
And I know I′m just an average guy
No football hero or smooth Don Juan

I got empty pockets, you see, I′m a poor man'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

Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
It′s uptight, out of sight
Said, baby, everything is all right

(It's all right, it's all right)

(It′s all right, it′s all right)

Oh, baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right


Uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
Baby, everything is all right
It's uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right
It′s all right
