A Stranger On Earth Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

A Stranger On Earth
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, I try for all I'm worth,
But I still remain a stranger on this earth.

Some people gloom, other folk cry.
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth.

I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.

But no matter how I try,
My troubles always multiply.

Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began.
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.

Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger,
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth
