It doesn't matter what you give It's never enough You can never have a bad day girl Cause that would be tough for me It doesn't mater what you say We'll never believe it So pour another whiskey babe You look great She was only woman Not built to be a superstar She carried a burden A gift to cause a thousand scars Too broken down and frail to carry such a heavy load She walked in to darkness and we stood To watch her go Didn't see you fade away But that's the price you paid Singing through your hurt and pain Should have been another way Take it just a bit too late Don't believe it Oh lord it was the price of fame So can I get a photograph? Even if you don't want it I don't care if you got troubles girl Just please don't be honest with me Oh can you be my laughing stock Don't take it so personal Just pour another whiskey babe You look great She was only woman Not built to be a superstar She carried a burden A gift to cause a thousand scars Too broken down and frail to carry such a heavy load She walked in to darkness and we stood To watch her go Didn't see you fade away But that's the price you paid Singing through your hurt and pain Should have been another way Take it just a bit too late Don't believe it Oh lord it was the price of fame Didn't see you fade away But that's the price you paid Singing through your hurt and pain Should have been another way Take it just a bit too late Don't believe it Oh lord it was the price of fame Yeah lord it was the price of fame Sing lord... (price of fame) It was the price of fame

What's the point of fame if it's been abused? What's a kid like me even got to lose? Here I am on your bed again It's too big for the room it's in. Watch your face and laugh just a little bit, Everybody knows that you're good at it, But nothin' hurts like an answer phone Drinkin' some, wakin' up alone. Maybe if i try just a little more, I can take myself from this dirty floor And walk through buildings of elegance Just like you are intelegent But still i fall from grace with this microphone How'd you fing yourself if you never roam? But, Certainly, I'm indebted baby, Certainly, certainly, yeah. I know my place But it don't know me I know my place But it don't know me No one wants to hear that you're breakin' up, It wasn't long ago we said 'start me up' Now all your dreamin' will have to wait While you discern, you'll anticipate Play your 45 with this late at night Open all the windows, turn out the light Mysterious creatures will fill the room A midnight show just put on for you. But still i fall from grace with this microphone How'd you find yourself if you never roam? Certainly, I'm indebted baby, Certainly, certainly, yeah. I know my place But it don't know me I know my place But it don't know me Cold fame in my brain, but It's okay cuz i know it's the best for me (10x)
