Marilyn Manson - You're So Vain Lyrics






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?

    A cool remake of you're so vain performed by the God of rock Marilyn Manson from his great

  25. J.... M....

    Marilyn manson, is this song gay?

  26. P.... M....

    I love you! ......!

  27. P.... ....

    This song is sending me secret messages into my brain, since it's specifically written about me, and only me.
    Helter Skelter!

  28. T.... Y....

    Manson is always brilliant 💋👄👄👄👄

  29. j.... g....

    I don't think starfuckers was about Manson. Wasn't he in the video? I thought it was about Billy Corgan.

  30. I.... ....

    It is reported that Johnny Depp played drums on this and that his son Jack played guitar. Perhaps bass. http://www.johnnydepprocks.com/Jack

  31. L.... l....

    King off Covers!

    Faster Pussycat covered this song too way back in 1990 and actually had a modest hit with it.

  37. J.... A....

    This cover is about me.

    J.... A....

    Justin Atwood why cause you are gay? you are right you are vain.

  38. A.... P....

    I really like this version :)

  39. J.... S....

    Sweet cover of 'You're So Vain'.

  40. B.... ....

    I've been waiting for him to do this song since Trent Reznor did starfuckers and said "you're so vain"

  41. h.... n....

    Good cover, preferably from the source. Written about sexy Mick Jagger?

    h.... n....

    It's about Warren Beatty

  42. A.... N....

    🤘🤘🤘👍👍❤️❤️

  43. A.... N....

    Eres la onda marilin manson

  44. T.... L....

    Love this remake for some reason even tho it's absolutely nothing at all like the original but it's a unique version n I really am into it can't stop listening to it over n over again!!!!

  45. s.... ....

    funny thing: on 99's Nine Inch Nails' "The Fragile" album, Reznor used the chorus' lyrics of this song for his song "Starfuckers, Inc." which alledgedly was written for Manson.

    s.... ....

    first thing I thought of when I heard this.

  46. j.... w....

    how is Johnny Depp involved in this song

    j.... w....

    @JayZombie1216 i gotcha, thank you

    j.... w....

    No problem, dude!

    j.... w....

    He's the high pitched back ground singer. 😊

    j.... w....

    @Melissa B I see, thank you 😊

    j.... w....

    🎸 Guitar, which is funny cause I never knew he could play a guitar

  47. s.... r....

    I love this voice

  48. j.... ....

    Darker than Night Movie Ending song

  49. S.... H....

    I don't like his music but this is a nice cover

  50. j.... ....

    Mas negro que la noche Horror MExican movie ending song

  51. d.... ....

    not his best song, cover or otherwise. Granted, it does show that the man has good taste.

  52. J.... S....

    Not his best cover.

  53. S.... M....

    Like this better then the original.

    S.... M....

    Shroom Masta
    Well, it depends on the type of music you enjoy.

  54. B.... M....

    I bet you think this song is about you.

  55. J.... M....

    Anybody talking shit should post a video of themselves singing the song better.....

    J.... M....

    @Connor Roth Connor .. Thats Brilliant wit !! Well done

    J.... M....

    *Drops microphone and leaves youtube.*

    J.... M....

    +Jann Miltz
    It's a weird mindset wherein people insist that you have to be able to do a better job yourself in order to criticise what you find wrong with something. That's just not true. In a similar vein, people can dislike their president without running for candidacy themselves.

    J.... M....

    +Morton Fork spot on. kudos.

    J.... M....

    @suizadeamerica thx bbz

  56. D.... O....

    wypass :D

  57. D.... D....

    Haters gonna hate. But I loved this song.

  58. T.... B....

    I D!g h!s creat!ve jesture on t)-(!s song

  59. i.... ....

    Manson is ruining that great song...what a annoying voice of death metal or whatever the fuck you call this garbage...long live simon !

    i.... ....

    fuck Simon

  60. B.... s....

    I should dedicate this to my ex girl friend shes so vain

    B.... s....

    Brian smith don’t dedicate a song to your Ex as that means you still have feelings for them......x

  61. M.... H....

    This cover is so good, it ain't funny! Never ceases to amaze! Personally I think it is better than the original...

  62. J.... K....

    It's very interesting he covered that since Trent Reznor used some of the lyrics for Starfuckers, Inc. back in the day, which was allegedly written about Marilyn Manson. It's sad they fell out anyway but what I wonder is whether they covered it or rather whether Marilyn wanted to cover it with his bad as some sort of insult towards Trent. It's awesome either way but it really leaves me wondering.

    J.... K....

    +Julie K I know it's been two years, but for what it's worth: Marilyn Manson shows up in person in the actual Starfuckers video, so how badly could they be getting along, really?

    J.... K....

    I think you're right. Considering how much of a dopey clown he is now he probably thinks oscar winning trent cares. He does not

    J.... K....

    Oh no, MM will only have his 50M RIAA certified record sales and performing this iconic song with 3x Academy Award winner and legendary icon Johnny Depp to console him.

    So sad.

    J.... K....

    #Bigfacts

    J.... K....

    They made up before the video was shot? He was a shock jock artist it made sense to have him in the video even if they were never in good terms again

  63. I.... ....

    his voice is great

  64. J.... M....

    I guess people are too dull to figure out she meant what Carly Simon said about the composite of men. I hear it. There's always someone who buds into people's business, thinking they are the center of everything.

  65. J.... M....

    Carly Simon claimed the song was a composite. It's about two men. If you listen to the lyrics, she was singing about a lover and someone who thinks it's about him. It's ironic.

  66. J.... M....

    This song was meant to be sang Marilyn Manson.

    J.... M....

    I couldnt have said it better.

    J.... M....

    Same has sweat dreams

  67. j.... ....

    Good song. It's a shame people don't know who or what it's about.

  68. M.... ....

    Marilyn Manson does the best covers, I have to say for myself, that every cover he has ever done I end up liking more than the original. Still like the originals, I just love his twist on them

  69. C.... R....

    o melhor desde sweety dreams...

  70. L.... N....

    Starfuckers inc... yes, it also reminded me of that like a tongue in cheek sort of thing

  71. A.... B....

    Glad Carly Simon songs are still being covered. I have not heard a better cover since Faster Pussy-cat

  72. e.... b....

    tool better then nin

  73. J.... L....

    Eu sinceramente não gostei tanto do estilo que o Marilyn adotou, sendo gótico e tals, não nas letras mas no estilo da musica, preferia como era nos quatro primeiros álbuns, mas não adianta reclamar por que esse tipo de coisa depende dos sentimentos do nosso Lord Manson, então que seja assim, ainda ta foda mesmo

  74. r.... ....

    i think this song is about me

  75. g.... ....

    NIN is good

  76. m.... d....

    Watch a very very intelligent Christian man asking a Muslim Sheikh about islam.... must Watch.
    watch?v=5J-9dn3_hpY

  77. T.... ....

    My daughter loves this song!

  78. T.... K....

    yes, is a cover, but i think manson is referring to trent :P

  79. C.... H....

    VISTE CUANDO LE PONES POWER A UN TEMA DE CARLY SIMON....BUENO ASÍ

  80. n.... ....

    Awesome

  81. E.... ....

    I do like Carly simons version better but fuck I love Marilyn so(:

  82. g.... m....

    its you are so vain ? :))

  83. k.... k....

    this shit rocks!

  84. B.... C....

    Well I guess there's 12 people who know this song isn't about them....

  85. B.... C....

    This Baseline is Sick.

  86. j.... ....

    Kicks bum. =)

  87. A.... B....

    I think this song is about me.!! :|

  88. e.... ....

    lol he hasn't dressed like that in a while now since 2001

  89. j.... ....

    Yeah seriously!? John Denver was an amazing Singer and writer i grew up listening to him and i grew to love him, I honestly dont think Manson could corrupt John Denver's songs just saying...

  90. 1.... ....

    Why does the song cut off abruptly at the end?

  91. l.... ....

    Trent prolly is that vain. nice call.

  92. l.... ....

    John Denver was actually a good song writer, smart ass.

  93. l.... ....

    Carly did it better, i think Carly is one of the sexist women in music ever. She's so beautiful.

    This is a cool cover though. well done MM and JD.

  94. w.... ....

    Some classics just shouldn't be re-done.

  95. T.... P....

    I'm honestly in love with this song <3<3.

  96. m.... ....

    no dear, it's Carly Simon 1972

  97. M.... K....

    Great instruments but not too crazy about the vox. Sounds like he is trying too hard to be his 1990's self.

  98. H.... Y....

    He's playing the guitar

  99. D.... ....

    MM does a great job covering David Bowies' "Golden Years".. Check it out, if you haven't already..

  100. S.... ....

    Great cover, Exonerate the 3
