Billy Joel – Big Shot

Billy Joel – Big Shot Lyrics

Artist: Billy Joel
Song: Big Shot

You went uptown riding in your limousine
In 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 b#tchin’ 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 and to have a white hot spotlight

You had to be a big shot last night
They were all impressed with your Halston dress
And the people you knew at Elaine’s
And the story of your latest success

Kept ’em so entertained
But now you just can’t remember
All the things you said
And you’re not sure 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 hand to 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 spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night
