Les Paroles :
I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited ’bout the way that thing could’ve been
You said 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 in the cab
My joy has turned to pain
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’m done in my pain, don’t you feel it, 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 the cover of the magazines, what a scene
They know my every do’s
Just sign your name on the dollar 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
And I feel the pressure setting in, I’m living just to win
I’m put 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 for 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 (price of fame)
My father never lies (price of fame)
So don’t be feelin’ this way, boy, hee-hee
I’d like to take some time and get away, then they’ll say
Is that boy still alive
They make you start taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive
My father always told me, you won’t live a quiet life
They startin’ wonderin’ where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me and their stinkin’ jealousy
I’ve been standing here in my shoes and then I picked up 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 for 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 feelin’ this way, boy
