  • 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 alright, uptight, out of sight
    Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean 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
    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, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
    Baby, everything is alright, uptight, ah ah ah ah
    Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight
    Baby, everything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
