Price Of Fame

(album: Bad 25 - 2012)

I took my baby on a riverboat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited 'bout the way that things could've 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 grabbed
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 be feeling your pain

It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
So don't be feeling your 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 move
"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 'round 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 feeling 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 for fame
So don't be feeling no pain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
Father never lies (The price of fame)
My father never lies
My father never lies (The price of fame)
So don't be feeling this way, boy

Hee-hee
Aow!
Do it, ooh!

I like to take some time and get away, then they say
Is that boy still alive?
The weak that really start 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 the envious look at me
Their mistaken jealousy
Well then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues

It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't be feeling this way
It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
My father never lies (The price of fame)
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies (The price of fame)
So don't be feeling no pain, boy
