You're :o So Vain
.









Lyrics by: Carly Simon
Music by: Carly Simon



You :o walked into the party
Like you :o were walking onto a yacht
Your :o hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your :o scarf it was apricot
You :o had one eye in the mirror
As you :o watched yourself :o gavotte
And all the girls dreamed
That they'd be your :o partner
They'd be your :o partner, and....

You're :o so vain
You :o probably think this song is about you :o
You're :o so vain
I'll bet you :o think this song is about you :o
Don't you :o? Don't you :o?

You :o had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well you :o said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you :o would never leave

But you :o gave away the things you :o loved
And one of them was me (Sic! Should be "I".)
I had some dreams
They were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee and....

You're :o so vain
You :o probably think this song is about you :o
You're :o so vain
I'll bet you :o think this song is about you :o
Don't you :o? Don't you :o?

Well I hear you :o went up to Saratoga
And your :o horse naturally won
Then you :o flew your :o Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well, you're :o where you :o should be all of the time
And when you're :o not you're :o with
Some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....

You're :o so vain
You :o probably think this song is about you :o
You're :o so vain
I'll bet you :o think this song is about you :o
Don't you? :o Don't you:o?
