yer soooooo vain
This song is by Carly Simon (http://www.carlysimon.com/vain/vain.html)

Lyrics

you walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
yer hat strategically dipped below one eye
yer scarf it was apricot
you had one eye in the mirror and you watched yerself gavotte
and all the girls dreamed that they'd be yer partner
they'd be yer partner, and

yer so vain, you probably think this song is about you
yer so vain, i 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

yer so vain!

i had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
clouds in my coffee, and

yer sooooo vain!

yer so vain!
