"You're So Vain" by Carly Simon from her album No Secrets released in 1972, ranked ninth on the Year-End Billboard Hot 100 of my birth year.
Oh, you had me several years agoEver since I've heard of that last line, I've always wondered what "clouds in my coffee" really meant (doesn't help that I'm only an occasional coffee drinker). Songfacts has an explanation though to dispel the mystery.
When I was still naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee
