Price of Fame

I took my baby on a riverboat cruise

And she was well-aware

I was excited about the way 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 reachin' for fortune and fame

I feel the pressure settin' in, I'm livin' just to win

I'm done, I'm in my pain, don't be 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 moves

"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 followin' 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 reachin' for fortune and fame

And I feel the pressure settin' in, I'm livin' just to win

I'm feelin' all this pain, don't you ever complain

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 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 sometime and get away, then they'll say

Is that boy still alive?

The week they really started takin' pills, what a thrill

Only the strong survive

My father always told me you won't live a quiet life

They start to wonderin' where have you been?

I feel the envious look at me with mistaken jealousy

And 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 feelin' this way

It's the price of fame, you pay the price for fame

So don't you ever complain

Pay the price of fame

You pay the price of fame

My father never lies (Price of pain)

My father never lies, baby

My father never lies (Price of pain)

So don't be feelin' no pain, boy
