A Few Cents Short Lyrics

Lookin' for spare change
To put gas in my car
But what I've found
Won't get me very far

Seems lately the low times
Have hit me pretty hard 
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From getting to where you are

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms 
And a few cents short 
Of keeping us from falling apart 
Ain't it funny how the money 
Can change our lives 
'Cause I'm a few cents short 
From losing you tonight

So I walked to a pay phone down the road 
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I hold 
The operator wants more money 
To place my call 
But I'm a few cents short 
If that don't beat it all

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms 
And a few cents short 
Of keeping us from falling apart 
Ain't it funny how the money 
Can change our lives 
'Cause I'm a few cents short 
From losing you tonight

I'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms 
And a few cents short 
Of keeping us from falling apart 
Ain't it funny how the money 
Can change our lives 
'Cause I'm a few cents short 
From losing you tonight

'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonight
