Vanity
Barbara Pennington Lyrics

You left the real world behind
You have disconnected from reality

You're a legend in your own mind
You have an exaggerated sense of your own importance

Those eyes are closed that once could see
You have become blind to the truth

You think that you're too good for me
You believe that you are superior to me

Now, boy, you better stay away
You should keep your distance from me

You just made a big mistake
You have made a significant error in judgment

You think the world is waiting there
You believe that everyone is eagerly anticipating your presence

But all I see is empty air
From my perspective, there is nothing substantial about you

I loved you once upon a time
There was a point in the past when I had strong feelings for you

The way you changed is just a crime
Your transformation is a disappointment

Since you became a big success
Ever since you achieved great fame or accomplishment

You forgot about happiness
You have disregarded the importance of contentment

I've watched you out there on the street
I have observed you in public

You like girls falling at your feet
You enjoy having women fawning over you

But you forgot the one who cared
You have neglected the person who truly loved you

And all the love that we once shared
And the affection that we used to have for each other

To vain for me baby
You are too self-centered for my taste, baby

I'm gonna pack my bags
I am going to prepare to leave

And I'm gonna leave
And I will depart

You're too vain for me
You are excessively obsessed with your own appearance and importance for my liking

Lately you're just not the same
Recently, you have changed significantly

It's all become just a game
Everything has turned into a mere competition or amusement

I only wish you the very best
I simply desire the utmost happiness for you

But you put our love to the test
However, you have challenged or strained our relationship

Don't reach out with my hands
I will not extend my hands towards you

You gave me up for one night stands
You abandoned me for brief and casual sexual encounters

So you can take your attitude
Therefore, you can keep your arrogant mindset

It's time my lovin' wasn't used
It is about time my affection and care were not taken advantage of

Baby, don't you see?
Darling, can't you comprehend?

Imagine you're mine
Just picture yourself as being mine

Yes, you are baby
That's right, my dear

You're too cold for me
Your emotional detachment is unbearable for me

I can't take it anymore
I can no longer endure it

I'm gonna pack my bags
I am going to prepare to leave

And walk out the door
And walk away from this relationship

Vanity
Excessive conceit or self-admiration

Oh, insanity
Oh, madness

You're no longer the man you used to be
You are no longer the person you once were

You're at the end of the rope with me
Our relationship has reached its breaking point

You're too vain for me
You are excessively obsessed with your own appearance and importance for my liking
