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

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

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 but

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...Yeah
When you get it off...your trip

Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...Yeah

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 it off...your trip

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

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

Don't you worry 'bout a thing

Just a quick comment.  Stevie played every instrument on this (including drums) except for some percussion.  What a gift!

They are very good...but compared to three consecutive albums from: Dylan,  Joni, Van, Neil, Led, Beatles, Grateful? 

C'mon now.

I always thought he said that too... then I read this:

It begins with a dialogue, partly in mock-Spanish, in which Wonder portrays a slick character trying to impress a woman with his worldliness: "'Cause like I been to, y'know, Paris, Peru, y'know, I mean, uh, Iraq, Iran, Eurasia... y'know I speak very, very, um fluent Spanish ... 'Todo 'stá bien chévere' .... you got that?"

The tune is in E♭ minor, starting with a Latin piano intro. The song's second chorus begins with Stevie taking the vocals up an octave with two vocal overdubs singing the same line. He also sings two other background overdub vocals, mimicking a horn line with the Spanish phrase "Todo 'stá bien chévere", which, loosely translated, means "Everything's really cool."


Well, I like this song better now, knowing he wasn't using bad language.

How is it that almost 50 years ago this was at the forefront of R&B, and now it's artists like Drake, Jay-Z, and Kesha?  Those smooth, feel-good grooves, positive messages, and sunshine lyrics don't resonate at all with younger people?

Keeping it on RP all day keeps me from worrying about a thing. I love to let Bill get in my head with subtle messaging to counter the negative- especially these days with the COVID19. Someday these messages may look a little strange to those who weren't living the siege but I know that RP is always going to be here for the next one.  The music will always uplift the spirits and hopefully leave us all a little saner for it. Bill- thank you very much for your passion, positive messaging and for making a difference. Love you, brother!

I believe that "smiling faces" line is a deliberate and admiring reference to The Staple Singers' I'll Take You There:

"Ain't no smilin' faces
Mmm, no no
Lyin' to the races"

Both great tunes.
And thanks bluematrix for the "chévere" explanation. : )

 
I always too it to be a reference to "Smiling Faces Sometimes," or maybe even to "Back Stabbers," which quotes "Smiling Faces Sometimes."  Could be a reference to all three, come to think of it.

I wholly disagree.  This is a great song from a great album.  I'm not sure if you know what "muzak" actually was, or just feel like throwing that term out there, but muzak (or "elevator music" as some other "critics" here have mentioned) sounded absolutely nothing like this.  This song has a complex melody and structure and Stevie's vocals are fantastic on this recording.  Well, we all hear different things, I guess.
 
I second what Proclivities wrote. Well put and my thoughts exactly. When I was a kid...I didn't think much of SW's music, but now as a seasoned musician and songwriter myself, I totally appreciate the detail and energy along with melody and performance this song has to offer.
