Lyrics

Well you went uptown riding in your limousine With your fine park avenue clothes You had the dom perignon in your hand The spoon up your nose And when you wake up in the morning With your head on fire 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 They were all impressed with your halston dress The people that you knew at elaine's And the story of your latest success Kept 'em so entertained But now you just can't remember All the things you said You're not sure 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 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 Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea, 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 Big shot Big shot Big shot Big shot Big shot Big shot Big shot Big shot
