Michael Jackson - Price Of Fame Lyrics






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? (No way!)

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!

    Lyrics are written very clearly and are easily readable,welldone sir Micheal Jackson,keep it up,we need more such kind of new songs covering a lot of new topics ,as you always did before, which we are still enjoying up till now with our new generations, your videos are also very meaningful and unique.God bless you where ever you are sir.You are rightly said king of pop, rock and disco music by the world sir,nobody can ever beat you,I have said this before and I will keep on saying it always.I bought your first cassette thriller accidently or fortunately at the age of twelve years when I went to a shop selling cassettes and storybooks in sadder Rawalpindi,where we use to go every month with my mother and both of my younger brothers to buy such type of things,the shop keeper said that daughter ,this month any cassette of hits is not released ,instead there is a cassette of a new singer whose name is Micheal Jackson,you can buy it instead, you will like the songs inshaAllah,and than he gave me the cassette,I took it and than I saw the face of the shopkeeper with strange and inquiring eyes ,and as it was a very new name for me,I was thinking that the shopkeeper was dodging me just in order to sell his cassette,after seeing my face the shopkeeper said that sentence which I have just described to you.When we heard the songs,each and every family member of our family liked each and everysong,after that we all became lifetime fans of the Jackson's music .A lot of appreciations from Rawalpindi,Islamic Republic of Pakistan ,Asia.7:00am,winters,monday,room temperature approximately 15 degree celcius.Mrs. Mian Mohammed Afzal.

  5. m.... k....

    The pain is getting me endless tears... ohh poor Michael

  6. S.... K....

    i love this song ... rang true ....

  7. M.... M....

    The beat and music of this song is from another planet

    M.... M....

    But its from Michael Jackson, what do you expect ?!

  8. J.... W....

    😢😢

  9. j.... m....

    Trust me when I say this the price of fame is your soul

  10. x.... ....

    If feel like this song was made because Michael was pissed off . This might be the only song I could say he didn’t put his all in to and he just wanted 2 send a quick message .

  11. R.... M....

    Rahul Gandhi, Brendan Fraser, Brendon Urie and. Yanni.....are the four prime accused in Nirbhaya case.....

  12. R.... M....

    Oh!! By the way, ....i learnt from news today, that.....nirbhaya's guilty..... All four of them.... Are to be hanged till death on 22nd January, 2020 at 7.am sharp.

  13. R.... M....

    I will keep you all posted about the latest developments.... In this case!!....

  14. R.... M....

    For, investigative purposes, I had to make up these stories, and trap Princess Diana.... The hyena... Bloodthirsty about Mr. Michael Jackson.....the clean Clintons who were, sweetly threatening Mr. Jackson....every night to dance to his death..... The Royal terrorists.....The Windsors.... Who at present are enjoying the legal hospitality of this.... So -called bloody native country.... My motherland called India..... On terrorism, sedition, murder charges. Whoever is making a public appearance elsewhere is a clone..... A human clone!!!!!

  15. R.... M....

    Now... I, Dr. Rajashree Mukherjee, daughter of Dr. Narayan Mukherjee, the chief of RAW( research and analysis) wing of Indian intelligence, in order to save Mr. Jackson and Mr. Nelson Mandela, his father, who also is very much alive, .....Now I hope you know all.... Why Mr. Jackson was victimised.all thru out his life, ..... Because, The windy Windsors could not break, or buy or murder Mr. Mandela in jail and the whole world clamoured for his much-awaited release.....

  16. R.... M....

    She is very much alive, and had been in India, Pakistan, China, in last twenty years, feigning her death. And scheming plans along with Prince Charles, how to malign and terrorize, plot 9/11 and 26/11, and execute them, in India, and USA,.... You all get it!!

  17. R.... M....

    Princess Diana.... Is the Osama Bin Laden.... In reality....

  18. R.... M....

    Now, since, Mr. Jackson, is making a comeback and he is enjoying the true love and care and good wishes from the world who are loving his music with tenfold attention and appreciation, , and he is claiming back that, all the piano pieces of Yanni actually are all,

    either Mr. Jackson's compositions, as he had to stay supposedly dead, for personal investigation of who was responsible for all these papparazzi led motivated humiliation for him and his children, only, or they were unpolished, unfinished pieces or unedited raw compositions of Beethoven, yanni and his brother, Fraser have pounced and kidnapped my mother, Mrs. Krishna Mukherjee, and my sister, Advocate Debashree Mukherjee, and torturing them sexually in an unknown place, with Pappu Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi's local logistic support... To make me admit..... Forcibly that their permanent bed-partner, Rajashree Khastogir... Which was the body double created by my terrorist maternal uncles...... To trap me into so-called Mr. Michael Jackson's death..... As if, I am the so-called master-planner of all the heinous terrorist activities carried out althroughout the world, in the last, at least thirty years......

  19. R.... M....

    Promoting terrorism and earning their richness from murder of mass of human beings, and feeding on human flesh is an old practice of This British Royal family..... I heard that. There was a blast a small one in the royal kitchen, at Fuckinham Palace, and four chefs were burnt.... I don't know whether dead or still alive... But, promptly, Prince Charles went and started nibbling at the raw burnt flesh of his chefs at once...... They never expected this shock in their whole life.... Cannibals!!!!!!......... British Royals are cannibals!!!!!

  20. R.... M....

    Fraser, is an avid fan of black magic, and he is the jealous bastard, behind all the ordeal behind Mr. Michael Jackson's life, and humiliations, Fraser deals adeptly with all the black dead souls, along with his son Brendon Urie, daughter-in-law, TaylorSwift, equally a murderer and daughter Billie Ellish...... And helped by his sweetheart Pimpy auntie....... Afton Smith Fraser, actually their whole marital discord and drama about, their alimony fight was a total gimmick for the world,....... Whitening of black money thru terrorism.... And nothing else.....

  21. R.... M....

    Brendan Fraser is the direct grandson or son(biological) of Legendary John Lennon's murderer Champ. ....ead the internet content about John's murder...... And is the illegitimate son of Western Elizabeth of Great Britain.....

  22. R.... M....

    Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and the whole family of Hollywood star, Brendan Fraser, and Tanning are holding my biological mother. Sister, hostage, and repeatedly raping them, trying to break me down, along with the local help of my three terrorist maternal uncle, and their pimp families and children.... Gangraping my mother and sister, repeatedly trying to pressurize me to accept the crimes and terrorism that I have not committed including severe allegations like, like I plotted Princess Diana's so-called murder in Paris, when all the time, she was enjoying fair Indian weather with Prince Charles.

  23. G.... D....

    I don't sing it if I don't mean it.

  26. m.... ....

    Not one of his better songs but it's alright.the chorus is catchy

  27. M.... F....

    Truly sad, I feel so bad for Michael... he didn’t deserve to be insecure! But the beat is super awesome

  28. L.... W....

    Did he say,

    "The week In village, started taking pills what a trill, only the strong survive" ???

  29. D.... ....

    I'm guessing this was an unreleased demo. I can see why.

  30. M.... O....

    FAME IS PAIN🌹 R.I.P LOVE YOU MICHAEL FOREVER.♥️

  31. B.... T....

    you paid your music, dance, love , joy, happiness and finally your life as the price of your fame but at the end you got false allegations & hate from this world.

  32. L.... P....

    FUCK I just heard this for the first time and I literally want to cry now. This hurts so much just listening to it

  33. B.... C....

    Its 2019 and its my first time to hear this song. Its really for him. I miss you Michael. I hope and pray that you are now at peace with the loving arms of our Lord God.

  34. B.... S....

    I never heard this song! It's good, must have been a "vault song" Michael Jackson put everything he wanted to say in his work. I didn't realize that til I got older, that he lived through his music.

  35. B.... L....

    He said more than in the village what a thrill

  36. F.... d....

    Michael sings his life in this song..

  37. s.... r....

    So painful life ....

  38. C.... W....

    What a song you picked a very good one here Michael worked his Butt off always... and he was Perfect...💙💙💙💙💙💙💙👑

  39. U.... J....

    l won't stop listen Michael's songs till l die 💙

  40. G.... m....

    I'm 15 yrs old now studyies are very important for me in this age before being a mj fan I'm first in my class but now I'm not so my teachers said to concentrate on studies instead of listening my mj.I also did that after a few months I thought myself "if i gonna forgot mj"but after listening this I'm not.His songs are magnet which attracts everyone's heart
    Love his songs
    Love him
    Love his character😍😍
    "Love is the most important thing in the world"
    -michael jackson

  41. d.... d....

    Price of fame from, Yeah you really paid the price mike. Love you

  42. K.... W....

    There will never be another musician with the amount of fame that MJ had and still has....even in death.

  43. j.... d....

    Michael Jackson forever in my heart and soul

  44. E.... Z....

    There trying to make people hate mj what did he ever do whyyy people im sitting and wondering why

  45. E.... Z....

    Its been a year and im still wondering why mj keeps being acused of child abuse

  46. L.... M....

    That freaked me out. Reminded me of Drowned World by Madonna. I don't think you realize when you're young the price you pay for fame and fortune . You are natively drawn to the glitz and glamour. You're striving to get noticed, then if it actually happens, I think a lot of stars eventually start to feel like birds in gilded cages. What freedom is that????

  47. A.... S....

    So sad. The price of fame . Whole of life in front of the cameras .

  48. A.... K....

    Death caused by slander, monstrous allegations and global scale bullying instigated by the media was the price of fame for Michael Jackson, the greatest celebrity of all time

  49. S.... A....

    he writes a song bout his life…nice…

  50. m.... 3....

    the best song everrr literally💕🥺

  51. E.... D....

    In 2019 this song is si true. : (

  52. L.... S....

    Lol I wanna be famous, but not like Michael was. I just want a lot of people to listen to and like my music.

  53. F.... A....

    Happy everyday to You applehead we love You so much for ever

    F.... A....

    Michael,Where ever you are. They safe and happy!!!You deserve a normal life outside the media with family and kids. God bless you!!!

    F.... A....

    @Gabriele R. GOD BLESS ALL MJ S FANS ALL AROUND THE WORLD PLEASE KEEP MICHAELING FOR EVER MUCH LOVE TO YOU

  54. F.... A....

    Happy birthday Michael all the love and happeniss to You 61 we love You angel more and more success
    انشاء الله

  55. a.... ....

    To be fair I like his words. Everybody dreams of somehow being successful, singer, songwriter, actor, actress but there's a price for it but who admires someone if they complain

  56. R.... B....

    i loveeeeeeeeee this song ❤

  57. L.... V....

    he continues to pay the price of his fame even after his death. Beautiful and sad song...

  58. R.... F....

    2:54 that made me giggle a bit.

  59. D.... B....

    he has delt with so much and yet still keeps his fans smiling!!! I miss him so much!!!

  60. S.... S....

    This song is scary and sad at the same time

  61. B.... L....

    At 2:58 do you hear what he said?...that's why i believe in fake death...i truly believe Michael is not dead..he just disappeared...

  62. T.... 1....

    I don't know why are you all saying like it's sad because he lived the price of fame. I understand that he doesn't have a private life,he can never be alone,but that's the path he chose and all those people are his fans,the ones who love him so much. All celebrities should appreciate that they have fans. And yes,it is price of fame,but he worked hard for it and that is the life of a celebrity.

    T.... 1....

    Yes and the lyrics is don't you ever complain

  63. S.... S....

    There is nothing free. Everything comes with price.

  64. M.... ....

    I could see Joe Jackson saying this to him.

  65. M.... a....

    Wow!❤️ love it!

  66. T.... C....

    Well he paid the ultimate price for fame. You can hear the saddness in his voice in this song. God bless and keep you MJ...I know you are safe and happy now. Love and miss you always. RIP

  67. T.... F....

    2:53 listen to this mabye he not dead hes tooken some time away think about it makes sense kinda right?

  68. c.... d....

    I guess this was true...

  69. T.... M....

    At 2:49 look at his eyes, he has no emotion. Just dull and flat.

  70. C.... C....

    Charlie Chaplin mentioned this in his book sadly. He missed walking the street like other humans without intrusion. He suddenly felt utter loneliness in a world he was once part of. Now he's isolated. Can't even trust the friends he had. Its depressing if you're at the level

  71. T.... A....

    2:38 I love how the china music plays

  72. G.... H....

    ☂️ 2019

  73. M.... M....

    💕MJ love u💕

  74. a.... l....

    Price of Fame so true

  75. a.... l....

    This is so true, talented and legends have to pay the price of Fame but mj had to pay a big price of Fame because he was the King of Pop and the best entertainer of all time.

  76. a.... l....

    I feel so sorry for mj he was never happy being famous because he wanted a normal life that we all have like going shopping without anyone following him.and he didn't have much benefits being famous because people made fake news about him to get moneyand they accused him for something he didn't do just to get money.micheal we love u and know no one can follow you now and you have your own privacy now love u mj forever 😘💞

  77. P.... J....
