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...
