Well you went up-town
Rid-ing in your lim-ou-sine
With your fine Park Av-en-ue clothes
You had the Dom Per-i-gnon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
Ooh, and when you wake up
in the morn-ing
With your head on fi-re
And your eyes too blood-y to see
Go on and cry in your cof-fee
But don't come bitch-in' to me
Be-cause you had to be a big shot,
Didn't you
You had to op-en 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 ev-'ry-thing's a-bout
You had to have a white hot spot-light
You had to be a big shot last night
Whoa
Well they were all im-pressed
with your Hal-ston dress
And the peo-ple that you knew at E-laine's
And the sto-ry of your lat-est suc-cess
Kept 'em so en-ter-tained
Aw, but now you just don't re-mem-ber
All the things you said
And you're not sure that you wan-na know
I'll give you one hint, hon-ey
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 had to have the last word, last night
So much fun to be a-round
You had to have the front page, bold type
You had to be a big shot last night
Whoa. Oh, oh whoa Oh, oh whoa
Oh, oh, oh whoa
Oh, oh, oh whoa
It's no big sin stick your two cents in
If you know when to leave it a- lone
But you went ov-er the line
You could-n't see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no,
you had to be a big shot,
Mm, big shot big shot
You had to op-en 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 a-round
