You've Got To Earn It |
| To get stones from a rock |
| You’ve got to break it To get bread from dough |
| You’ve got to bake it To get water from a faucet |
| You’ve got to turn it If you wanna be loved |
| If you wanna be loved |
| (If you want to be loved) |
| You’ve got to earn it To get fire from matches |
| You’ve got to strike them |
| To get the feeling like this |
| You’ve got to like it To get ashes from wood |
| You’ve got to burn it If you wanna be loved |
| If you wanna be loved |
| Ooh, you’ve got to earn it Throw hate right out of your heart |
| To make broken things work |
| You’ve got to fix 'em |
| That’s what you gotta do, now |
| To make two things one |
| You’ve got to mix them, yeah |
| To get butter from milk |
| You’ve got to churn it If you wanna be loved |
| If you wanna be loved |
| Said y’all |
| You’ve got to earn it Earn it, earn it Earn it, earn it That’s what you gott do, now |
| Earn it, earn it Earn it, earn it Earn the right to be loved |
| Earn it, earn it |
