Have you heard the latest? (you love you)

Have you seen who just walked in (vain vain vain vain)

(uh huh, you love you) right over there

She’s so vain vain vain vain

Vain vain vain vain

I’m glad you’ve found someone who loves you
But sad to say that someone is you
And now perhaps you’ll both be happy
Guess that makes two just you and you
Someone who cares so much about you
But does that someone have to be you
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom yeah
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom yeah

Vanity kills, it don’t pay bills
Vanity kills, you love you
Vanity kills, it don’t pay bills
Vanity kills, it kills

So glad i found you glancing in the mirror
Gazing deeply at love’s patron saint
Admire the frame, survey the scenery
Or are you just inspecting the paint
Temptation’s strong modesty’s so weak
High on yourself humble you ain’t

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom yeah
