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 no stranger On this earth
