price of fame
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 As in if I don't care I want a face no one can 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 down 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 feelin' 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 wanna take a ride, look behind Someone is following you You try to get away you turn with that, 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 bleed in 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 My father never lies My father never lies So don't be feelin' this way, boy I like to take sometime and get away, then they'll say Is that boy still alive? The weak reveals he started taking pills, what a thrill Only the strong survive Father always told me 'You won't live a quiet life' They start to wonderin' where have you been I feel their envious looks at me Their mistaken jealousy Then stand here in my shoes And get a taste 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 feelin' this way It's the price of fame You pay the price of fame So don't you ever complain In 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 feelin' no pain, boy
