It's Hard to Be Humble lyrics

[Spoken]

Back a few months ago, I was headlinin' in a great big nightclub and they put me up a couple days early. I came in a couple days early, and they put me up in what they call the "Star Suite". Now here I am, headlinin' in one of the biggest nightclubs in the country, and I wake up at eight o'clock in the morning in this "Star Suite" all by myself.

Awwww

Yeah, that's what I said: Awwwww, but I did what I've always done. Man, to cheer myself up I picked up my guitar. I sat down and I wrote me a little song. Now this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hill and tryin' to figure out why:

[Sang]

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

when you're perfect in every way.

I can't wait to look in the mirror

'cause I get better looking each day.

To know me is to love me.

I must be a hell of a man.

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,

but I'm doing the best that I can.

I used to have a girlfriend,

but I guess she just couldn't compete,

with all of these love-starved women,

who keep clamoring at my feet.

Oh I probably could find me another,

but I guess they're all in awe of me.

Who cares?

I never get lonesome

'cause I treasure my own company.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble,

when you're perfect in every way.

-I can't wait to look in the mirror-

I can't wait to look in the mirror.

-Help me out now! Come on-

I get better looking each day.

-To know me is to what?-

To know me is to love me.

-Must be a hell of man-

I must be a hell of a man.

-Oh Lord It's hard-

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble.

-When you're doing what?-

We're doing the best that we can.

I guess you could say I'm a loner,

a cowboy outlaw, tough and proud.

Well I could have lots of friends if I wanted

but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd.

Some folks say that I'm egotistical.

Hell, I don't even know what that means.

I guess it has something to do

with the way that I fill out my skin tight with jeans.

Oh -Come on! Where's all the kinders in here?-

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble.

-When you're perfect in every way-

When you're perfect in every way.

-Can't wait to look in the mirror-

I can't wait to look in the mirror.

-'cause I get better looking-

I get better looking each day.

-To know me is to what?-

To know me is to love me.

-Must be a hell of man-

I must be a hell of a man.

-Oh Lord It's hard-

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble.

-What are we doing?-

We're doing the best that we can.

-One more time! What are we doing?-

We're doing the best that we can.

-Give yourself a hand.-
