Price of Fame

Lyrics

I took my baby on a river boat cruise
 And she was well aware
 I was excited about the way the things could have been
 She said that I don't care
 I wore a face no one could recognize, in disguise
 Someone called out my name
 They thought of taking pictures, autographs, then they grab
 My joy had turned to pain
 Father always told me
 You won't live a quiet life
 If you're reaching for fortune and fame
 I feel the pressure setting in
 I'm living just to win
 I'm done in my pain
 Don't you feelin' no pain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't be feeling no pain
 It's the price of fame
 It's the price of fame
 So don't you ever complain
 I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene
 They know my every do's
 Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine
 That always bothers me
 Get in your car, you want to take a ride, look behind
 Someone is following you
 You try to get away you turn real fast, but too bad
 They know your every move
 Father always told me
 You won't live a quiet life
 If you're reaching for fortune and fame
 And I feel the pressure setting in
 I'm living just to win
 I'm feelin' all this pain
 Don't you ever complain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't you ever complain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't be feelin' no pain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 Father never lies (price of fame)
 My father never lies
 My father never lies (price of fame)
 So don't be feeling this way, boy
 ♪
 I'd like to take sometime and get away, then they'll say
 Is that boy still alive?
 The weak that really started taking pills, what a thrill
 Only the strong survive
 Father always told me
 You won't live a quiet life
 They start to wondering where have you been
 I feel their envious looks at me
 Their mistaken jealousy
 And then stand here in my shoes
 And get addict of my blues
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't you ever complain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't be feeling this way
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 So don't you ever complain
 It's the price of fame
 You pay the price of fame
 My father never lies (price of fame)
 My father never lies, baby
 My father never lies (price of fame)
 So don't be feeling no pain, boy
