You're so vein....
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...
Reckon we've all known someone like that. When given the choice between
looking a mirror and a friend in the eyes... an easy decision...
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?
Wow... Wiki enlightens.. The first candidate Carly wrote about was Mick.. . as in Jagger... Then Warren Beatty commented "Let's be honest. That song was about me." And on and on it went... Mebbe David Bowie, perhaps David Cassidy, and what about Cat Stevens? (Please don't let that tarnish Carly's reputation)..
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...
Funny, kinda. I guess relationships can be kinda like coffee. Too weak. Too strong. Too warm. Not hot enough. "The perfect blend", uh huh, right. 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...
Hard, for a simpleton like me to relate to this... The closest I ever got to a Lear jet was one night I won just over a grand at the Ameristar... had had one or two more than I shoulda, and hailed a $45 Yellow cab back to Liberty. (Only to awaken, beg a friend in the morn for a ride back to get my car.)
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?
I don't do real good with conceit. All men are created equal, it's just seemingly sometimes some men/women, don't believe that, in spite of all life's examples that go right over their head.. the silver spoon they've been fed with, or the skewed perception that they are actually "better"... .
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 vein, or perhaps not. Last 8 months, pretty good pain in leg if I walk from one side'a the Piggly Wiggly to the other.
Arterial Doppler on legs this morning, followed by phone call 6 hours later from doc's office "found some blockage... we're setting u up with an appointment with a vascular surgeon."
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and... perhaps I ain't so vein. We'll see..
Love, Victurd
