You're so vain

Printer-friendly version

Reasons for a split, following discovery that he wants more of my clothes than I can give.........

You're so vain.... (Or am I???)

by the wife of WannabeGinger

(with apologies to Carly Simon.... as if any are needed!)

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your bangs strategically dipped across one eye
Your hair it was apricot........
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the guys 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?

I first had you several years ago
When we were still both naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
I never thought you would leave.........
But you stole my things that you loved
And those clothes belong to me

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

Now, 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 girly dreams, they're now 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 know this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I recall we dressed up in Saratoga
And your fem outfit naturally won
Then we danced as girls up in Nova Scotia
Under the total eclipse of the sun...........
Well, you're not where you should be all the time
And when you are, you're with
Some underworld spy or the gay 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 know this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I last had you several days ago
When we were both anything but naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
You never thought I would leave...........
But you stole my things that you loved
And those clothes belong to me

I'll bet you know this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
