If you´re wondering why
All the love that you long for eludes you
And people are rude and cruel to you
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why

You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You just haven´t earned it, son
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
And I´m telling you now...

If you´re wondering why
When all I wanted from life was to be Famous
I have tried for so long, it´s all gone wrong
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why
But you wouldn´t believe me

You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You just haven´t earned it, son
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just haven´t earned it yet, Baby
And I´m telling you now...
I´ll tell you why
I´ll tell you why

Today I am remembering the time
When they pulled me back
And held me down
And looked me in the eyes and said
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You just haven´t earned it, my son
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
You must stay on your own for slightly longer
You just haven´t earned it yet baby
And I´m telling you now...

You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
Oh...
You just haven´t earned it yet, baby
Oh...
Oh
