Oh Lord It's Hard to Be Humble
Embracing Self-Confidence: Oh Lord, the Struggle of Humility
Lyrics
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Expressing difficulty in maintaining humility
When you're perfect in every way
Claiming perfection in every aspect
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Excitement about self-reflection in the mirror
'Cos I get better looking each day
Belief in improving physical appearance daily
To know me is to love me
Suggesting that being known leads to love
I must be a hell of a man
Boasting about being an exceptional man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Reiterating the challenge of humility
But I'm doing the best that I can
Asserting efforts to be humble despite perfection
I used to have, have a girlfriend
Recalling a past girlfriend and her inadequacy
But I guess she just couldn't compete
Suggesting the ex-girlfriend's inability to compete
With all of those love-starved women
Highlighting attention from other women
Who keep clamoring at my feet
Describing women as love-starved and attentive
I probably could find me another
Considering finding another girlfriend
I guess they're in awe of me
Implying that others are in awe of the speaker
Who cares, I've never been lonesome
Indifferent to loneliness, values self-company
'Cause I treasure my own company
Expressing contentment with solitude
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Repeating the challenge of being humble
When you're perfect in every way
Reiterating perfection and self-admiration
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Anticipation of improved looks in the mirror
Hell, I get better looking each day
Emphasizing continual improvement in appearance
To know me is to love me
Linking knowing the speaker to loving him
I must be a hell of a man
Reasserting being a remarkable man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Restating the challenge of humility
But I'm doing the best that I can
Emphasizing earnest efforts at humility
I guess you could say I'm a loner
Identifying as a loner, proud cowboy
A cowboy who's lost nothing proud
Expressing a sense of superiority and pride
I could have lots of friends if I wanted
Considering potential friendships but choosing isolation
But then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd
Valuing standing out over having many friends
Some folks say that I'm egotistical
Acknowledging accusations of egotism
Hell I don't even know what that means
Claiming ignorance of the term "egotistical"
I guess it has something to do with the way
Speculating on the connection to tight jeans
That I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans
Humorous reference to physical appearance
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Repeating the challenge of being humble
When you're perfect in every way
Reiterating self-perceived perfection
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Anticipating enhanced looks in the mirror
Cos I get better looking each day
Continued belief in improving appearance
To know me is to love me
Linking knowing to loving the speaker
I must be a hell of a man
Reaffirming being a remarkable man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Repeating the challenge of humility
But I'm doing the best that I can
Affirming dedicated efforts towards humility
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
Restating the challenge of being humble
But I'm doing the best that I can, yeehaa!
Ending with a triumphant exclamation
