JOEL BILLY - Big Shot lyrics

rate me

You went uptown riding in your limousine<br>In your fine park avenue clothes<br>You had the dom perignon in your hand<br>And the spoon up your nose<br>And when you wake up in the morning<br>With your head on fire<br>And your eyes too bloody to see<br>Go on and cry in your coffee<br>But don't come bitchin' to me<br><br>Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>You had to open up your mouth<br>You had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>All your friends were so knocked out<br>You had to have the last word, last night<br>You know what everything's about<br>You had to have a white hot spotlight<br>You had to be a big shot last night<br><br>They were all impressed with your halston dress<br>And the people that you knew at elaine's<br>And the story of your latest success<br>Kept 'em so entertained<br>But now you just can't remember<br>All the things you said<br>And you're not sure you want to know<br>I'll give you one hint, honey<br>You sure did put on a show<br><br>Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>You had to prove it to the crowd<br>You had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>All your friends were so knocked out<br>You had to have the last word, last night<br>You're so much fun to be around<br>You had to have the front page, bold type<br>You had to be a big shot last night<br><br>Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in<br>If you know when to leave it alone<br>But you went over the line<br>You couldn't see it was time to go home<br>No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>You had to open up your mouth<br>You had to be a big shot, didn't you<br>All your friends were so knocked out<br>You had to have the last word, last night<br>So much fun to be around<br>You had to have a white hot spotlight<br>You had to be a big shot last night
