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 when you wake up
in the mornin'
with your head on fire
and your eyes
too bloody to see
Go on and cry
in your coffee
but don't come
bitchin' to me
Because you had to be
a big shot, didn't cha
you had to
open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot
didn't cha
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
a white hot spotlight
you had to be a
big shot last night
Woah oh oh woah
Yeah they were
all impressed
with your Halston dress
And the people
that you knew
at Elaine's
And the story
of your latest success
you kept 'em
so entertained
Oh but now you just
can't remember all
the things that you said
and you're not sure
that you want to know
I'll give you one hint
honey you sure
did put on a show
Yes, yes
you had to be
a big shot, didn't cha
you had to prove it
to the crowd
You had to be a big shot
didn't cha
all your friends
were so knocked out
You had to have
the last word
last night
so much fun
to be around
You had to have the
front page, bold type
you had to be a
big shot last night
oh oh
Oh oh woah woah oh
Oh oh woah woah woah
oh oh oh woah woah oh
oh oh woah
Well it's no big sin to
stick your two cents in
if you know when
to leave it alone
But you went
over the line
you couldn't see
it was time
to go home
No, no, no, no, no
you had to be a
big shot didn't cha
Had to open up
your mouth
you had to be a
big shot didn't cha
All your friends
were so knocked out
You had to have
the last word
last night
so much fun
to be around
You had to have the
front page, bold type
you had to be a
big shot last night
oh oh
Oh oh woah woah oh
Oh oh woah woah woah
oh oh oh woah woah oh
oh oh woah
A big shot
Big shot
Big shot
Ah big shot
Ah big shot
