Well, you went uptown ridin' in your limousine
|
With your fine Park Avenue clothes
|
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
|
Ooh, and when you wake up in the mornin' with your head on fire
|
And your eyes too bloody to see
|
Go on and cry in your coffee but don't come bitchin' to me
|
|
Because you had to be a big shot, didn't cha
|
You had to open up your mouth
|
U had to be a big shot, didn't cha, all your friends were so knocked out
|
You had to have the last word, last night
|
You’re so much everything's about
|
You had to have a white hot spotlight, U had to be a big shot last night
|
Oh oh oh oh oh…YEAH!
|
|
And they were all impressed with your Halston dress
|
And the people that you knew at Elaine's
|
And the story of your latest success, you kept 'em so entertained
|
Aw, but now you just don't remember all the things you said
|
You're not sure that you want to 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 cha
|
You had to prove it to the crowd
|
U had to be a big shot, didn't cha, all your friends were so knocked out
|
You had to have the last word, last night, so much fun to be around
|
You had to have the front page, bold type
|
You had to be a big shot last night, oh oh
|
|
Oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa who-oo-oo-oo-ah,
|
Oh oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa.
|
|
Well, it ain’t no big sin to stick your two cents in
|
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, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't cha
|
You had to open up your mouth
|
U had to be a big shot, didn't cha, 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 spotlight
|
You had to be a big shot last night, oh oh
|
|
Oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa who-oo-oo-oo-ah,
|
Oh oh oh whoa whoa oh, oh oh whoa.
|
|
Big shot
|
Big shot
|
Big shot
|
Whoa! Whoa!
|
Big shot
|
Big shot
|
Whoa! Whoa!
|
Big shot
|
Whoa!
|
|
YEAH!
