Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fame (Fame) makes a man take things over

Fame (Fame) keeps him loose, and hard to swallow

Fame (Fame) puts you there, things are hollow

Fame (Fame)

[Verse 2]

Fame, it's not your brain, just the flame

Love to see ya talkin', are you sane? (Sane)

But that fame (Fame)

[Verse 3]

Fame, (Fame) what you want is in yer limo

Fame, (Fame) what you get is no tomorrow

Fame, (Fame) what you need you have to borrow

Fame (Fame)

[Verse 4]

Fair, what's mine is mine, just his line

Love to see you manage your crime (Crime)

Fame, (Fame) name of the game, Jane

Just the pain, Jane

Fame

Come on, come on, come on

[Verse 5]

Is it any wonder I reject you first?

Fame, (Fame) fame, fame

Is it any wonder you're far too cool to fool

Fame (Fame)

[Verse 6]

Fame, bully for you, chilly for me

Got to get a rain check on pain (Pain)

That's fame, (Fame) oh, yeah

[Verse 7]

Oh, yeah (Fame)

Fame, (Fame) it's a pain, Jane

(Fame) Come on, come on, come on, come on

[Verse 8]

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame

Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame

[Verse 9]

Fame, fame, fame, fame

Wow

Fame, fame, fame, fame

What's your name?
