Big Shot lyrics

Artist  : Billy Joel 
Song : Big Shot



 Send "Big Shot" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

You went uptown riding in your limousine
In
your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom
Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your
nose
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
and to have a white hot spotlight
You had to
be a big shot last night

They were all
impressed with your Halston dress
And the
people you knew at Elaine's
And the story of
your latest success
Kept 'em so
entertained
But now you jsut can't
remember
All the things you said
And 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 hand to 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
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
