(Son of a gun)
He walked into the party
Like you were walking on to 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 (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Oh, you had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
When 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 (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't 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 (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 Learjet 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 (so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Don't you? Now
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
He walked into the party
Like you were walking on to 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 (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Oh, you had me several years ago

When you said that we made such a pretty pair

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't 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 (you're so vain)

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? Now
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 about you" is saying all of you will think this song is about them, and its not, but they'll all think this because they're so vain. I love this song, its sooo good :)
i think it's about Jack...i don't know they're history, but they had one. and i bet that they KNOW that this song is about him..why would she write stuff such as "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..." if it had never happened? not for a good rhyme or song, but it has meaning. and when he heard it, i bet he knew it was him.
i believe she has only told ONE person who this song is about...my mom told me about it, so did my dad, that some man, i forgot his name, paid her like millions for her to tell him. i think it was even on national tv, and she whispered it to him? or maybe that was a rumor, but he paid and she told him. and he knows. and so does she.
and whoever this song is about is probably very vain, they think the song is about them because it is...and thats just her excuse for writing it.
not me!
how to loose a guy in 10 days
just love the song,
hate the movie
the fact that you think it's about you, tells you're vain, it's brilliant!
"And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and..."
