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 on 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 quite naive
     Well 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...

     I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
     Clouds in my coffee, and...
     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...
