...you probably think this thread is about you.

    Gee, I thought you were talking about the Carly Simon song.
  • Am I the only person alive that thinks that the song defeats it's own purpose?
  • Woki mit deim Popo.
    I've heard that song is a Take Take against a certain someone.

    What's her beef with Mr. Someone?

    ^x3 It bothers me, because it's like one of those logic things.

    If you think the song is about you, would you be vain, or would you just be right or wrong?  If you don't, are you not vain?

  • I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
    I wish nothing but the best for
    you both
    An older version of me
    Is she perverted like me
    Would she go
    down on you in a theatre
    Does she speak eloquently
    And would she have your
    baby
    I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

    'cause the love
    that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To make it enough for you to be open
    wide, no
    And every time you speak her name
    Does she know how you told me
    you'd hold me
    Until you died, till you died
    But you're still
    alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went
    away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to
    me
    You, you, you oughta know

    You seem very well, things look
    peaceful
    I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
    Did you forget
    about me Mr. Duplicity
    I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
    It was a
    slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
    Are you thinking of me when you
    fuck her?

    'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
    To
    make it enough for you to be open wide, no
    And every time you speak her
    name
    Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
    Until you died, til you
    died
    But you're still alive

    And I'm here to remind you
    Of the mess
    you left when you went away
    It's not fair to deny me
    Of the cross I bear
    that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    'cause the joke that you
    laid on the bed that was me
    And I'm not gonna fade
    As soon as you close
    your eyes and you know it
    And every time I scratch my nails down someone
    else's back
    I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

    Well, I'm here
    to remind you
    Of the mess you left when you went away
    It's not fair to
    deny me
    Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
    You, you, you oughta know

    Why did you make a thread about me?

    ^ All that went through my head was the Weird Al version.
  • @Myrmidon Ironically, that one's about Dave Coulier of Full House fame.
  • I do not want to picture Uncle Joey receiving oral sex from Alanis Morissete in a movie theatre.

    Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
    While I look
    outside
    So many things I’d say if only I were able
    But I just keep quiet
    and count the cars that pass by

    You’ve got opinions, man
    We’re all
    entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
    So let me thank you for your time, and try
    not to waste anymore of mine
    And get out of here fast

    I hate to break
    it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
    There’s no one here to save

    Who
    cares if you disagree?
    You are not me
    Who made you king of anything?
    So
    you dare tell me who to be?
    Who died and made you king of
    anything?

    You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
    Swear you
    know best
    But you expect me to jump up on board with you
    And ride off into
    your delusional sunset

    I’m not the one who’s lost with no
    direction
    But you’ll never see

    You’re
    so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
    You got the talking
    down, just not the listening

    And who cares if you disagree?
    You are
    not me
    Who made you king of anything?
    So you dare tell me who to
    be?
    Who died and made you king of anything?

    All my life I’ve tried to
    make everybody happy
    While I just hurt and hide
    Waiting for someone to
    tell me it’s my turn to decide

    Who cares if you disagree?
    You are not
    me
    Who made you king of anything?
    So you dare tell me who to be?
    Who
    died and made you king of anything?

    Who cares if you disagree?
    You are
    not me
    Who made you king of anything?
    So you dare tell me who to
    be?
    Who died and made you king of anything?

    Let me hold your crown,
    babe.

    smote
    You're so vein, you probably think vampires are after you.


    "Am I the only person alive that thinks that the song defeats it's own purpose?"

    I thought so too for a long time. Eventually I came to realize why it's not about the "you": it's about the singer, doing what she has to do to move on.
