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 (you're 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 You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain (you're so vain) I 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 (you're so vain) I 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 (so vain) I bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? Don't you now? You're so vain You probably think this song is about you You're so vain Probably think this song about you You're so vain

A letra descreve um amante arrogante e a música refere-se a três homens, sendo que Carly Simon revelou publicamente que o atór Warren Beatty foi um deles.
Carly Simon levou um ano para escrever "You're So Vain" e o título original da composição era "Bless You, Ben".
A introdução de baixo foi tocada por Klaus Voormann, enquanto as cordas foram arranjadas pela própria Carly Simon e orquestradas por Paul Buckmaster.
No início de 1973, a faixa alcançou a primeira posição nas paradas musicais dos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Austrália e Nova Zelândia.
Na 16ª Edição dos Grammy em 1974, a música recebeu indicações para Canção do Ano, Gravação do Ano e Melhor Performance Vocal Feminina de Pop.
Em agosto de 2014, a Official Charts Company do Reino Unido a elegiu como a música definitiva de toda a década de 1970.
