If you're wondering why 
 All the love that you long for eludes you 
 And people [bad word] and [bad word] to you 
 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 
 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 

 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 ...
