Artist: Stevie Wonder
LP/CD: Uptight (Everything’s Alright) ~~ Tamla ~~ 1965
Composer: Stevie Wonder

Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta sight
Baby, everything is all right
Uptight, outta 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 steppin’ on the town for a while
My money’s low and my suit’s outta style

But it’s all right if my clothes aren’t new
Outta sight because my heart is true
She says, “Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, outta sight”
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean outta 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 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”
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
Can’t give her the things that money can buy
But I never, never make my baby cry

And it’s all right, what I can’t do
Outta sight because my heart is true
She says, “Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean outta sight”

Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean outta sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha, yeah

Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, way outta sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight, clean outta sight
