Price of Fame

I took my baby on a river boat cruise

And she was well aware

I was excited about the way things could have been

Cause in it 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 has 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 feel it?

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’m on; the cover of the 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 real fast, but too bad

They know your every move!

My 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 bleed 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 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’d like to take some time and get away,

then they’ll say,

Is that boy still alive?

The week in village … what a thrill

Only the strong survive

My father always told me,

You won’t live a quiet life,

They startin’ to wonderin’ where have you been?

I feel their envious looks at me

Their mistaken jealousy

Then stand here in my shoes

And then 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!

It’s the price of fame,

you pay the price of fame!

Father never lies,

my father never lies baby

My father never lies

So don’t be feelin’ no pain boy!
