Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're wonderin' why

All the love that you long for eludes you

And people are rude and cruel to you

[Verse 2]

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

[Verse 3]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it yet, son

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You must suffer and cry for a longer time

[Verse 4]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

And I'm tellin' you now

[Verse 5]

If you're wonderin' why

When all I wanted from life was to be famous

I have tried for so long, it's all gone wrong

[Verse 6]

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

[Verse 7]

But you wouldn't believe me

[Verse 8]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it yet, 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 tellin' you now

[Verse 9]

I'll tell you why

I'll tell you why

[Verse 10]

Today I am remembering the time

When they pulled me back and held me down

And looked me in the eyes and said

[Verse 11]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You just haven't earned it yet, my son

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

You must stay on your own for slightly longer

[Verse 12]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

And I'm tellin' you now

[Verse 13]

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

Oh, oh oh

You just haven't earned it yet, baby

Oh, oh oh

[Verse 14]

Ahh, oh oh

Ah, ah, ah
