 You walked  into a party;
 like you are walking  on to a yacht
 Your hat,  strategically dipped below one eye;
 your scarf  it was an 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 and
You're  so vain,
you  prob'ly 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 make 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
 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 under world spy,  or the wife  of a close friend wife of a close friend and
