Back a few months ago,
I was headlinin' 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, "Awwww"
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,
tryin' to figure out why.
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 lookin' 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 doin' 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
Well, I could prob'ly 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
Oooooh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
(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 lookin' each day
(To know me is to what?)
To know me is to love me
(Must be a hell of a 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 doin' what?)
We're doin' 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 blue jeans
Oooooh........
Come on, where's all the kickers in here?!
Oooooh 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 lookin')
I get better lookin' each day
(To know me is to what?)
To know me is to love me
(Must be a hell of a 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 doin'?)
We're doin' the best that we can
(One more time, what are we doin'?)
We're doing the best that we can
Give yourselves a hand
Yeeee-haw!
