Youre So Vain Lyrics

Artist: 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? Don't 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 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?

by thomas walsh on 10/28/2008 6:06pm this song is in reference to Warren Beatty , or she is trying to confuse evereybody, Beatty dabbled in thoughroughbred racing and raced his horses at Saratoga springs NY. Mick Jagger would'nt know a horse's ass.

by Sarah on 2/10/2009 7:17am I just listened carefully, it is DEFINATLY gavotte, also gavotte does make more sense as it rhymes with the way she says Apricot. Great song
by che on 2/19/2009 12:58am perfect to define a guy so vain....he's so vain..worthless. 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 YOU'RE SO VAIN!!!!

by liz on 3/5/2009 9:04pm I love it! it reminds me of my ex, except that he is not into horse racing and he has never been to saratoga or nova scotia! ha ha so I guess loosely based around the idea that guys can't get enough of themselves ha ha ha they are flattered when chicks write songs even like this about them. so I love this song!

by filmFanatic on 8/9/2009 2:18pm i love this song because it reminds me of 'how to lose a guy in 10 days' which is an amazing film!
by Tsgreek2me on 8/18/2009 7:13pm by me on 4/4/2009 11:04pm For years I thought it said "your scopic was Africa"... I thought the same exact thing "Me". And it has taken me 3 days of playing the song over and over to get me to sing the proper lyrics. I think I have it now.
by Someone on 9/6/2009 6:26am in case anyone is questioning the word Gavotte it actually is a specific type of French dance.
