[Verse 1]
Well, you went uptown ridin' in your limousine with your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
Ooh, and when you wake up in the mornin' with your head on fire, your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee, but don't you come bitchin' to me
[Chorus]
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 the white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night, woah
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Well, 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
Oh, but now you just don't remember all the things you said, you're not sure that you want to know
I'll give you one hint, honey, you sure did put on a show
[Chorus]
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, you went uptown ridin' in your limousine with your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand and the spoon up your nose
Ooh, and when you wake up in the mornin' with your head on fire, your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee, but don't you come bitchin' to me
[Chorus]
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 the white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night, woah
Yeah

You had to be a big shot, didn't you? All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
