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
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?
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

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
G (½) F (2)
