You're so vain

Carly Simon          

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
And your scarf is apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dream that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner
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
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 of 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
 

The girl from yesterday

Eagles

It wasn't real sad the way they said good bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And he became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that came from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
The she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window, she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday
