Song lyrics
(Son of a gun)
You walked into the party
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 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
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
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
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
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 Lear jet 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
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Supposedly, it refers to Warren Beatty, the Actor.
lf you listen to the chorus,carefully, you can hear Mick Jagger, & Linda Ronstadt, in the back- ground,singing harmony, with Carly Simon.

well, supposedly it refers to norwegian girl .. hehe

(I always thought it referred to Mick Jagger though, the irony being that he is singing himself in the background)

great song though!

I swore I heard it was about Mick JAgger, but hmm... I guess not if he's playing background. But I do know that Carly Simon is not telling who it's about. Great song thou;!
