Midnight at the glamour show on a Sunday night
Everybody drink a lotta whiskey and wine
We dance like no tomorrow, we're on burlesque time
But everybody's gotta work tomorrow at nine

Touch me, t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair (o-o-o-o-oh)
Love me, l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached
This is a brief affair

Vanity (o-o-oh)
Pictures in magazines, movie screens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
There is a camera, so many beauty queens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
It's so good to be populous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else

V-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-vanity
V-vanity
V-v-v-v-vanity

Nothing wrong with being just a little bit vain
We need a little pretty 'cause this country's insane
So go ahead and label me whatever you like
But nothing's quite as sexy as a woman this fine

Touch me, t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair (o-o-o-o-oh)
Love me, l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached
This is a brief affair

Vanity (o-o-oh)
Pictures in magazines, movie screens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
There is a camera, so many beauty queens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
It's so good to be populous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else

Look at me (watcha lookin' at)
Look at me (watcha starin' at)
(2x)

(O-o-oh)
I'm comin' around, I'm sippin' on andre, it's time (o-o-oh)
I heard the cutie's in the back startin' the p-party line (o-o-oh)
Let's dance, quick round, we're in the vanity house
We'll cover the sequents, diamonds
We're happy 'cause we're shining

Touch me t-touch me baby
But don't mess up my hair (o-o-o-o-oh)
Love me l-love me crazy
But don't get too attached
This is a brief affair

Vanity (o-o-oh)
Pictures in magazines, movie screens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
There is a camera, so many beauty queens
Vanity (o-o-oh)
It's so good to be populous and glamorous
We love ourselves and no one else
(2x)

    The title of this song is pretty self-explanatory. I think it's about how vanity can get in the way of relationships. The part where she's singing "Look at me/What ya looking at" Is contradictory because these people don't really want people to "see" them, they just want people to look at the image they project. Don't know if that makes sense. But yeah
