Carly Elisabeth Simon (born June 25, 1945 in New York City) is an American musician who emerged as one of the leading lights of the early 1970s singer-songwriter boom. Simon's major breakthrough was 1972's No Secrets. The album spawned several successful singles, including Simon's biggest hit, "You're So Vain". Simon continued to produce sucessful albums though the 70s and early 80s, moving into film scores after she was dropped by her record label in 1985. "You're So Vain" is a sarcastic profile of a self-absorbed lover.

Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we're not to proud
To cling together, We're strong
As long as we're together.
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain;
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together.
Our love is as deep as the sea,
Our love is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.
