== Lyrics ==
    You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
    Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
    Your scarf it was apricot
    You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
    And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
    They'd be your partner and...
    
        You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
        You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
        Don't you? Don't you?
    
    You had me several years ago when I was still naive
    You said that we made such a pretty pair
    And that you would never leave
    But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
    
    I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
    Clouds in my coffee and...
    
        You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
        You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
        Don't you? Don't you?
    
    I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
    Clouds in my coffee and you're so vain
    
    Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
    Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
    Well you're where you should be all the time
    And when you're not you're with some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
    Wife of a close friend and...
    
    You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
    You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
    Don't you? Don't you?
    You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
    You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
    Don't you? Don't you?
