My Sophisticated Love

If you call…
it’s okay.

Oh yeah,
it happened
a very long time ago.
In a dream
that anyone has yet to have.
So I guess you can see
that it's yet to fulfill itself.

But I guess what I’m really trying to say
is
if you have what it takes
to be…
to be so vain.

Because it’s so vain.
Yes, it’s so vain.
But still the same
your name…
it plays on my brain.

And there is no escape.

Do you ever get
that, strange crazy, feeling
that you’ve been here before?

Well, I guess, that’s because,
yes,
it’s because,
what’s going to be
has already been.
And what’s already been
is what’s happening now!

Do you déjà vu ?

Well, why don’t you just come
and déjà vu down with me?

But like I said before,
do you have what it takes
to be…
to be so vain.

Because it’s so vain.
Yes, it’s so vain.
But still the same
your name…
it plays on my brain.

And there is no escape.

(Hit it, boys!)

Now,
it doesn’t take much
for us to see,
that you’re a lock
and I’m a key.

Lets get it together.
Lets turn some time,
and lets be free
from all this vanity.

Come
feel
and taste of
my
sophisticated
love.
