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
