You're So Vague Lyrics

Clear-eyed girl
In a crooked way
All the crooked walkin'
To avoid and evade

Hair like maple
Skin like cream
Bet they say I love you
When you strip them thin

Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you

Green eyed boys
Lick the razor blade
Girl I think I love you (girl I think I love you)
And the mess you made (and the mess you made)

Setting you up
It don't get you down
When you flash your fangs, fuck
You own this town

Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you, uh
Baby, you're so vague
Baby, you're so vague
That you probably think this song ain't about you, uh
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
You're so vague (ah, ah)

Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)
Baby, you're so vague (ah, ah)

Signed up just to comment on this song since it's so amazing.

Alright, the way I see it, he's talking about one of the hot popular girls. Yeah you know the ones, they're gorgeous, but they're complete bitches. I think that's where "Clear-eyed girl, In a crooked way" comes in. She's beautiful, but in a crooked way, which probably means she just has appearance going for her. And he pretty much goes on saying he loves her, but she doesn't know it because she's completely oblivious about this guy, "That you probably think this song ain't about you". That's my two cents.

Oh, and I think after the line "When you flash your fangs", he adds a "fuck" after.

Title and chorus are a spoof of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain"
