You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby

You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby

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

Oh, oh

(Marr / Morrissey)
