Uptight (Everything’s Alright) Lyrics

[Intro]
Baby, everything is all right, uptight, out of sight
Baby, everything is all right, uptight, out of sight

[Verse 1]
I'm a poor man's son, from across the railroad tracks
The only shirt I own is hanging 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

[Chorus]
She says baby everything is alright
Uptight
Out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight
Clean out of sight

[Verse 2]
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 poor man's son
She says give her the things that money can buy
But I'll never, never make my baby cry
Is all right
I can win
Uptight
Because my hart is true

[Chorus]
She says baby everything is alright
Uptight
Out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight
Clean out of sight
Baby, everything is alright
Uptight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
