Vanity Fair
girlyboi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hazardously picked one girl and told her she'd be leaving soon
And one day in your parking as you led her to the room
And all the boys and girls have dreamed that they'd be your partner, they'd be your partner
You're so vain
You probably thought this party was for you
You're so vain
You're so vain
Didn't think that we'd live without you
You're so vain
And knowing everybody that doubts you
You're so vain
You moved over in Brooklyn 'cause you're the young and vicious type
You absolutely hate the fucks, you said you don't believe the hype
He asked you why you're smoking but you never shared a pipe
And all the while you cough and scuff and they'll keep on talking, they'll keep on talking
You're so vain
You thought that there's someone waiting for you
You're so vain
The only problem is there isn't more of you
You're so vain
And all the girls are asking you a favor
You're so vain
I think you're the one who could save you
You're so vain
You're so vain
You're so vain
You're so vain
