Chapter 3 Song

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht  
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye  
Your scarflette 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? don't you?

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee  

Clouds in my coffee, an
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? don't you?

This is the song I chose to represent an idea from Chapter 3. Especially the bold lyrics exemplify imaginary audience, in which young teenagers believe themselves to be the center of attention and as a result are often obsessed with their physical appearance. I will witness this much in my high school classroom.
