Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walked into the party like you were walkin' 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
[Verse 2]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you?
[Verse 5]
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee and
[Verse 6]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you?
[Verse 7]
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flow 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
[Verse 8]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
[Verse 9]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
