Carly Simon reveals who was so vain

[Main Street]

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Ok the big problem I have with this verse is that the song is about him, its all about him. So she is just talking rubbish, if the song wasn't about him then you can write those lyrics but as it is about him it doesn't make any sense.

Not quite, that conundrum was one of the many aspects that made the song.

after all that it tuns out to be about somone i never heard tell of

You never heard of David Geffen?  That's worthy of a song itself!

/Jim.
