I agree with Joe that it was Mac Davis and not Glen Campbell. Glen was not known as a prolific songwriter and I can't immediately recall any of his hits that he composed himself.

An early Glen Campbell song came out of his decision to leave the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson told him it was a dumb thing to do. Glen allegedly responded with "well, I guess I must be dumb then." Brian wrote, arranged (orchestra), recorded and produced a song that Glen recorded solo titled, "I Must Be Dumb". It can be found on YouTube.

I heard Mac Davis relate how he came to write "Don't get hooked on me" in several different interviews over the years and he always attributed it as his response to the request to write something with a hook to it.
