Billy Joel - Big Shot Lyrics
Well, you went uptown riding in your limousineWith your fine Park Avenue clothesYou had the Dom Perignon in your handAnd the spoon up your noseOoh, when you wake up in the morningWith your head on fireAnd your eyes too bloody to see,Go on and cry in your coffeeBut don't come *****in' to meBecause you had to be a big shot, didn't youYou had to open up your mouthYou had to be a big shot, didn't youAll your friends were so knocked outYou had to have the last word last nightYou know what everything's aboutYou had to have a white, hot spotlightYou had to be a big shot last nightWhoaThey were all impressed with your Halston dressAnd the people that you knew at Elaine'sAnd the story of your latest successKept 'em so entertainedAw, but now, you just don't rememberAll the things you saidAnd you're not sure that you want to knowI'll give you one hint, honeyYou sure did put on a showYes yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't youYou had to prove it to the crowdYou had to be a big shot, didn't youAll your friends were so knocked outYou had to have the last word last nightYou're so much fun to be aroundYou had to have the front page bold typeYou had to be a big shot last nightWhoaOh oh oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh-oh-ohOh oh oh oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh-ohWell, it's no big sin to stick your two cents inIf you know when to leave it aloneBut you went over the lineYou couldn't see it was time to go homeNo no no no no noYou had to be a big shot, didn't youYou had to open up your mouthYou had to be a big shot, didn't youAll your friends were so knocked outYou had to have the last word last nightSo much fun to be aroundYou had to have the white, hot spotlightYou had to be a big shot last nightWhoaOh oh oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh-oh-ohOh oh oh oh-oh-oh, oh oh oh-ohBig shotBig shotBig shot(repeat and fade out)
