|
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine |
|
With your fine Park Avenue clothes. |
|
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand |
|
And a spoon up your nose. |
|
When you wake up in the morning with you head on fire |
|
And your eyes too bloody to see, |
|
Go on and cry in your coffee, |
|
But don't come bitching to me. |
|
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
You had to open up your mouth. |
|
You had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
All your friends were so knocked out. |
|
You had to have the last word last night. |
|
You know what everything's about. |
|
You had to have the white hot spot light. |
|
You had to be a big shot last night. |
|
They were all impressed with your Halston dress |
|
And the people that you knew at Elaine's. |
|
And the story of your latest success, |
|
Kept them so entertained. |
|
But now you just don't remember all the things you said |
|
And you're not sure that you wanna know. |
|
I'll give you one hint, honey, |
|
You sure did put on a show. |
|
Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
You had to prove it to the crowd. |
|
You had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
All your friends were so knocked out. |
|
You had to have the last word last night, |
|
You're so much fun to be around. |
|
You had to have the front page, bold type. |
|
You had to be a big shot last night. |
|
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in |
|
If you know when to leave it alone. |
|
But you went over the line, |
|
You couldn't see it was time to go home. |
|
No, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
You had to open up your mouth. |
|
You had to be a big shot, didn't you? |
|
All your friends were so knocked out. |
|
You had to have the last word last night. |
|
You're so much fun to be around. |
|
You had to have the white hot spot light. |
|
You had to be a big shot last night. |
