A Few Cents Short Lyrics

Looking for spare change
To put gas in my car
But what I've found
Won't get me very farSeems lately the low times
Have hit me pretty hard
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From getting to where you areI'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apartAin't it funny how the money
Can change our lives?
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonightSo I walked to a pay phone down the road
But a few dimes and a nickel is all I had
The operator wants more money to place my call
But I'm a few cents short if that don't beat it allI'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short

Of keeping us from falling apartAin't it funny how the money
Can change our lives?
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonightI'm a few cents short
Of holding you in my arms
And a few cents short
Of keeping us from falling apartSure is funny how the money
Can change our lives
'Cause I'm a few cents short
From losing you tonightYes, I'm a few cents short
And I'll be losing you tonight
