You're So Vain- Carly Simon

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 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


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
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?


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?

[lovelyjellyfish]

Is this the really singer? If not tell me please.

[neil670]

the song was written about a guy she knew and she said in an interview that she would never say who it is. the whole mirror thing in the song is apparantly true too.

[plusminus00]

whats with the random as all get out ending??

[bissonse]

@JamesManes That is yet a very good point, but witch guy is it that she is talking about? most guys are Vein when you think about it.

[Crimsy3000]

No don't watch SNL, tape the dog and kitty eating together!

Cracks me up every time!!

@JamesManes (The guy who has the highest rated comment) Please thumb me up if you understand me.

She isn't directly addressing the guy himself... it's like an anonymous song for the intendee. If the man in question was to hear this song, a man who is so self absored, arrogant and 'vain'... then he would just assume he was the man suited for the song, despite him not being particularly mentioned. Mmkay?
