Price of Fame [SACD-HYBRID 3]dsd Songtext
von Michael Jackson

I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way the things could have 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 grab
My joy had 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 done in my pain
Don′t you feelin′ no pain


It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don′t be feeling 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 do′s
Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine
That always bothers me

Get in your car, you want to 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

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 feelin′ 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 of 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
My father never lies (price of fame)
So don′t be feeling this way, boy

I'd like to take sometime and get away, then they′ll say
Is that boy still alive?
The weak that really started taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive

Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
They start to wondering where have you been
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get addict 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 feeling 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

My father never lies (price of fame)
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies (price of fame)
So don't be feeling no pain, boy
