text: I took my baby on a riverboat cruise
  And she was well aware
  I was excited bout the way that things couldve been
  She said that I dont 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
  Father always told me
  You wont live a quiet life
  If youre reachin for fortune and fame
  I feel the pressure settin in, Im livin just to win
  Im done in my pain, dont be feelin your pain
  Its the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
  So dont be feelin your pain
  Its the price of fame, its the price of fame
  So dont you ever complain
  I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene
  They know my every move
  Just sign your name on the dotted line, youll 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
  Father always told me
  You wont live a quiet life
  If youre reachin for fortune and fame
  And I feel the pressure settin in, Im livin just to win
  Im feelin all this pain, dont you ever complain
  Its the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
  So dont you ever complain
  Its the price of fame, you pay the price for fame
  So dont be feelin no pain
  Its the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
  Father never lies 
  My father never lies
  My father never lies 
  So dont be feelin this way, boy
  Hee-hee
  Aow!
  Do it, ooh!
  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
  Father always told me
  You wont 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
  It’s the price of fame
  You pay the price for fame
  So dont you ever complain
  Its the price of fame
  You pay the price for fame
  So dont be feelin this way
  Its the price of fame
  You pay the price for fame
  So dont you ever complain
  Its the price of fame
  You pay the price of fame
  My father never lies 
  My father never lies, baby
  My father never lies 
  So dont be feelin no pain, boy
