Quincy Jones - Price Of Fame lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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? (No way!) [Chorus] 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! [Verse 2] I am a 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 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! [Pre-Chorus] 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 bleed 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 feeling 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! [Verse 3] I'd like to take some time 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 [Pre-Chorus] My 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 (oh?) Then stand here in my shoes And then think of my blues! [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 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!
