Big Shot Lyrics - The Complete Hits Collection 1973-1997 - Billy Joel

Well you went uptown riding in your limousine 

With your fine Park Avenue clothes 

You had the Dom Perignon in your hand 

And the spoon up your nose 

And when you wake up in the morning 

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 you 

You had to open 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 everything's about 

You had to have a white hot spotlight 

You had to be a big shot last night

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

They were all impressed with your Halston dress 

And the people that you knew at Elaine's 

And the story of your latest success 

Kept 'em so entertained 

But now you just don't remember 

All the things 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 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 

You're so much fun to be around 

You had to have the front page, bold type 

You had to be a big shot last night

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, no, you had to be a big shot, didn't you 

You had to open 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 around 

You had to have a white hot spot light 

You had to be a big shot last night 

Big shot 

Big shot 

Big shot 

Big shot 

Big shot 

Big shot
