Michael Jackson — Price of Fame

[Verse 1] I took my baby on a riverboat cruise And she was well aware I was excited 'bout the way that 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 takin' pictures, autographs, then they grabbed My joy had turned to pain [Pre-Chorus] 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 in my pain, don't be feelin' your pain [Chorus] It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame So don't be feelin' your pain It's the price of fame, it's the price of fame So don't you ever complain [Verse 2] I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene They know my every move "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 followin' you You try to get away, you turn 'round fast, but too bad They know your every move [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 (The price of fame) My father never lies My father never lies (The price of fame) So don't be feelin' this way, boy [Instrumental Break] Hee-hee Aow! Do it, ooh! [Verse 3] I like to take some time and get away, then they say Is that boy still alive? The weak that really start takin' pills, what a thrill Only the strong survive [Pre-Chorus] 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 Their mistaken jealousy Well then stand here in my shoes And get a taste of my blues [Chorus] 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 It's the price of fame You pay the price of fame My father never lies (The price of fame) My father never lies, baby My father never lies (The price of fame) So don't be feelin' no pain, boy
