Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
And all the girls dreamed
That they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
[Chorus]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
[Verse 2]
Ah, 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
[PreChorus]
I had some dreams
They were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
[Chorus]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
[PreChorus]
I had some dreams
They were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
[Chorus]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (You're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
[Verse 3]
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Learjet 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
[PreChorus]
Some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and
[Chorus]
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (So vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you?
[Outro]
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
