[Intro]
Eee eee!
Watch this y'all
Comprende señora
[? gibberish]
See here mama, you understand uh (mm-ah)
Well huh like huh I understand how you can't
I've been to Paris, Beirut you know Iraq, Iran, "Ukraingia" you know
I speak very very um fluent Spanish
Todo 'stá bien chévere' you understand that ? chévere
Yes I mama, I got my shakers

[Verse 1]
Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reaching out in vain
Just taking the things not worth having but

[Chorus 1]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out

[Verse 2]
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces

[Chorus 2]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
When you get off your trip

[Bridge]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing

[Chorus 2]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
'Cause I'll be standing in the side
When you check it out
When you get off your trip

[Verse 3]
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through

[Chorus 3]
But don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
'Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out

[Outro]
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
(Todo 'stá bien chévere)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
(Todo 'stá bien chévere)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
(Todo 'stá bien chévere)
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Yeah
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, sugar
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Don't you worry 'bout a thing hey
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, sugar
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Todo 'stá bien chévere

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
