I know mama loves me, I reckoned dad he thought I was a pretty good kid
I been blamed but I'm not ashamed of a couple things I did
I learned the golden rule before I started school like every little youngin' should do
But what am I worth here on earth if I ain't worth nothin' to you.

What am I worth here on earth, darlin' if I can't have you
I just can't find no peace of mind with anything that I do
I don't know why you make me cry but honey wont you give me a clue
But what am I worth here on earth if I ain't worth nothin' to you.

I might get sent to be president I'm sure I could do it for you
It would feature my face all over the place for all the good things I do
I might get my name in the hall of fame or even a book of who who's
What am I worth Here on earth if I ain't worth nothin' to you.

What I worth here on earth Darlin' if I can't have you
I just cant find no peace of mind with anything that I do
Well, I don't know why you make me cry but honey wont you give me a clue
What am I worth if I ain't worth nothin' to you.

Well, what am I worth here on earth
Well, what am I worth here on earth
Well, what am I worth here on earth
If I ain't worth nothin' to you...
