Lyrics[edit]
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?
Trivia[edit]
