It’s Hard To Be Humble Lyrics By Mac Davis

    spoken
    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

    crowd awwww

    mac yeah that’s what i said awwwww
    but i did what i’ve always done man to cheer myself up
    i picked up my 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 lovestarved 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
    ’cause i treasure my own company

    ohh
    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 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 lotsa 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 skintight blue jeans

    ohh
    come on where’s all the kickers 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 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
    yeehaw
