When all I wanted from life was to be famous
You just haven't earned it, son
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I'll tell you why
But you wouldn't believe me
You just haven't earned it, son
I'll tell you why
"You must stay on your own for a slightly longer
Today I am remembering the time
If you're wondering why
And looked me in the eyes and said
I have tried for so long, it's all gone wrong
For a slightly longer
You just haven't earned it yet, baby"
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I'll tell you why
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I'll tell you why
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
And I'm telling you, now
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
And I'm telling you, now
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
"You just haven't earned it yet, baby
When they pulled me back and held me down
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I'll tell you why
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
And people are rude and cruel to you
You just haven't earned it, son
You just haven't earned it, son
And I'm telling you, now"
I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why
Suffer and cry, you must suffer and cry
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just haven't earned it yet, baby
Suffer and cry, you must suffer and cry
I'll tell you why
