1, 57, 1, 57

Chorus

1 * * * * * 57 *

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

1 * * * 17 * 4 *

To know me is to love me ___, I must be a hell of a man

* * 1 * 57 * 1 *

Oh, Lord, it's hard to be humble, .. but I'm doing the best that I can

1 4 1 * * * 57 *

I used to have a girlfriend, .. but I guess she just couldn't com-pete

* * * * * * 1 *

With all of these love-starved women, .. who keep clamoring at my feet

* * * * 17 * 4 *

Well I prob'ly could find me a-nother .. but I guess they're all in awe of me

* * 1 * 57 * 1 57

Who cares, I never get lonesome, .. 'cause I treasure my own compan-y, Oh

1 4 1 * * * 57 *

I guess you could say I'm a loner, .. a cowboy out-law, tough and proud

* * *

Oh, I could have lots of friends if I want-a /

* * * 1 *

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

* * *

Some folks say that I'm ego-tistical /

* 17 * 4 *

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

* * 1

I guess it has somethin' to do with the way /

* 57 * 1 57

/ .. that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans, Oh
