Johnny Rivers - Uptight (Everything’s Alright) lyrics

Cosby-Judkins-Moy

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight
Out of sight
Baby, ev'rything 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 ev'ry 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 ev'rything is alright, uptight
Out of sight
Baby, ev'rything 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
She says give her the things
That money can buy
But I'll 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 ev'rything is alright, uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight
Ah ah ah ah
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight
Clean out of sight
