HERE ARE THE LYRICS OF THE SONG FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FORGOTTEN....

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
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

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?

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 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
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? Don’t you?

If Geffen is gay why would he be with the wife of a close friend?

I still think it fits Beatty better.

"And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner..."

Ah, apparently not then, huh?

I thought it was:

"You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself "GO BY".

Reminds me of the time my young daughter was listening to, "Sloopy" and after the line, "Cause Sloopy girl, you know I'm in love with you," she said, "He can't love her very much, he keeps calling her "stupid".

If the song's about a playboy womanizer after whom all the girls are running, how could it be about Geffen? Isn't he a founding member of the Gay Mafia?

nice picture. (eyeroll)

p.s. he was right to push Joni Mitchell. She's more talented.

None of those lyrics make sense as referring to her gay record label president David Geffen. They do make sense for a former boyfriend.

Jagger ain't it, he sang backup, lol. Kristofferson, Taylor? Nah, too nice.

I agree with Warren Beatty, thinking the song was about him.
