You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby - The Smiths

Oh yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

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, 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

Time

Time

Time
