Price of Fame - Michael Jackson

I took my baby on a river boat cruise

And she was well aware

I was excited about the way that things could have been

She said that 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 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 feel 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 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 (uh)

Father never lies

My father never lies (price of fame)

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 (uh)

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 (oh )

Then stand here in my shoes

And then think 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
