Nevertheless, the song captures the tone of the narcissism which is so
applicable to so many today.
Oh Lord
it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cuz 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 these love starved women
Who keep clamoring at my feet
Well I
probably could find me another
But I guess they're all in awe of me
Who cares I never get lonesome
Cuz 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
Cuz 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 guess
you could say I am a loner
A cowboy all locked up and proud
Well I could have lots of friends if I wanted
But then I wouldn't stand out in a 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
Oh Lord
it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cuz 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.
Mac
Davis, luminary, composer, performer, consummate entertainer, was actually
quite approachable and nothing like his song, Oh Lord, It's Hard to be
Humble.
