Well, I stare at myself in the mirror
When I wake up every morn
And I marvel at how great I've been
Since the day that I was born
I've made so many albums
I've run out of things to name 'em
My fans all want to be like me
And really, who can blame 'em
Teenage groupies all surround me
I guess I know why
No one else can match my charm
Why do they even try
All the girls in college
Turned me down for other fellas
But I know why, it seems to me
They're just insanely jealous
Who wouldn't be
Some people call it self-indulgence
But they just don't understand
That it's hard to be too humble
When you know that you're so grand
And I'm not trying to say I'm perfect
I just want you to see
That I've never met a person
Who's as wonderful as me
Now, I'm not arrogant or haughty
And I'm certainly not conceited
But anyone trying to match my wits
Is very soon defeated
I'm a marvellous human being
I'm just one big hunk of man
Sometimes I have to marvel
At how very great I am
Some people call it self-indulgence
But they just don't understand
That it's hard to be too humble
When you know that you're so grand
And I'm not trying to say I'm perfect
I just want you to see
That I've never met a person
Who's as marvellous, spectacular
Fantastic and terrific
And so very great and wonderful as me
