A Few Cents Short

Looking 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 had 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 Sure is funny how the money Can change our lives 'Cause I'm a few cents short From losing you tonight Yes I'm a few cents short And I'll be losing you tonight
