[Verse 1]Well you went uptown riding in your limousineWith your fine Park Avenue clothesYou had the Dom Perignon in your handAnd the spoon up your noseAnd when you wake up in the morning With your head on fireAnd your eyes too bloody to seeGo on and cry in your coffee but don'tCome bitchin' to me[Chorus]Because 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 night[Próxima Parte]You know what everything's aboutYou had to have a white hot spotlightYou had to be a big shot last night[Break][Verse 2]They 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 can't remember all the things you saidAnd you're not sure you want to knowI'll give you one hint, honey you sureDid put on a show[Chorus]Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't youYou had to prove it to the crowd[Próxima Parte]You're so much fun to be aroundYou had to have the front page, bold typeYou had to be a big shot last night Whoa...[Bridge]Whoa oh oh whoa whoaWhoa oh oh whoa whoaWhoa oh oh whoa whoaWhoa oh oh whoa whoa[Verse 3]Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents inIf you know when to leave it aloneBut you went over the line you couldn't seeIt was time to go home[Chorus]No, no, no, no, no, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't youYou had to open up your mouth[Próxima Parte]So much fun to be aroundYou had to have a white hot spotlightYou had to be a big shot last night[Fade Out on Chorus Chords]
