(Morrissey/Marr)
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
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
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
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 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
You just haven`t earned it son
You just haven`t earned it yet baby
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
Suffer and cry
You must suffer and cry for slightly longer
Suffer and cry
You must suffer and cry for a longer time
