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, won't you give me a clue
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's who
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
Well, I don't know why you make me cry
But honey, won't you give me a clue
What am I worth, here on earth
If I ain't worth nothin' to you
Well, what am I worth, here on earth
What am I worth, here on earth
What am I worth, here on earth
If I ain't worth nothin' to you
