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!
