"One Hell of a Woman" is a 1974 song (see 1974 in music) by the American singer-songwriter Mac Davis. The song was written by Davis and Mark James. Released as a single from his album Stop and Smell the Roses, the song became Davis' second Top 20 hit on the U.S. pop chart, where it peaked at No. 11 in the fall of 1974.[2] The song remained in the Top 40 for ten weeks. It spent a total of 28 weeks on the national charts, 10 weeks longer than did his number-one hit, "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me." Unusually for Davis, the song did not chart on the American country charts. The song ended up charting in the top ten for 1974 in spite of missing the top ten on the weekly survey.
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 probably 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 Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way I can't wait to look in the mirror 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 When you're doing the best that you 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 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 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 When you're doing the best that you can We're doing the best that we can! Give yourselves a hand. Yeeee-haw!
