Lyrics[edit | edit source]
I'd like to see you before I go
There's a few things I'd like to do
And when you're gone, you'll be gone for long
And soon I'll be gone too
But don't sweat it, don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Are you happy with the color of your teeth?
Could you use some shaping up?[3]
You satisfied with your boy or your girl
Your little buttercup?
Don't sweat it, don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't sweat it, don't sweat it<ref>No official lyrics available - transcribed from the audio
