Carly Simon
The song is a sarcastic profile of a self-absorbed lover. The song was a number-one hit (it topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in early 1973, and also spent two weeks at the top of the Adult Contemporary chart, her first #1 song on either chart), and spawned what many fans consider to be the biggest musical mystery of the era. There has been much debate over who exactly the song is about. Popular guesses on the subject include Mick Jagger (who sang backing vocals on the song), Cat Stevens, Warren Beatty, Kris Kristofferson (whom she had had brief relationships with), unfaithful fiancé William Donaldson, and Simon's ex-husband, James Taylor.
Despite these guesses and many interviews asking who it was, to this day Carly Simon has never publicly acknowledged in full whom the song is about. She commented in an interview that it was about "many vain men I've known in my life". This may make the line "you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" more logical than if it were about any single man.

Carly Simon- Youre so vain
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 bet you think this song is about you
don't you, don't you, don't you
well 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 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
I bet you think this song is about you
don't 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
you're so vain
you probably think this song is about you
you're so vain
I bet you think this song is about you
don't you, don't you, don't you

Carly Simon (called You're So Vain) If it's about Mick Jagger, James Taylor or Warren Beatty, we may never know.

You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You? Don't You?"

I dont have self assurance that's the reason for christianity. i think the reason grow to be that definitely everyone had to pay obeyance to Rome, and fact and justice now no longer counted. The heads of Rome theory they have been gods,and consequently they'd do as they extremely joyful, So absolutely everyone who did no longer have self assurance that fact and justice ought to prevail which Christ is fact, grow to be thrown to the lions. i think a lot of human beings have been sickened by employing the injustices and joined christianity using fact the church continuously grows below oppression and whilst persecuted.
