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

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
