Big Shot

Lyrics

Well, you went uptown riding in your limousine with your fine Park Avenue clothes
 You had the Dom Pérignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
 Ooh, and when you wake up in the morning 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 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 a white-hot spotlight
 You had to be a big shot last night, oh-oh
 ♪
 Hey, 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 'em so entertained
 Oh, but now you just don't remember all the things you said
 And 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 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
 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-whoa-whoa
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
 Oh-oh-whoa
 That'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, 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
 So much fun to be around
 You had to have a white-hot spotlight
 You had to be a big shot last night, oh
 Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
 Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
 Oh-oh-whoa-whoa
 Oh-oh-whoa
