Lookin' for spare change to put gas in my car But what I 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 gettin' to where you are I'm a few cents short of holdin' you in my arms And a few cents short of keepin' us >From fallin' apart Ain't it funny, how the money 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 CHORUS:
