I've been told 'bout living like a star
Hotel Ritz, champaign and caviar
But no one ever showed me the reverse
They try to sell your body and your soul
(babe, want you, my love, babe, want you)
It's the price you pay for rock ' roll
(babe, want you, my love, babe, want you)
And no one understands it how you feel
Baby don't you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
When critics crucify your latest show
(babe, want you, my love, babe, want you)
Another drink and then you lose control
(babe, want you, my love, babe, want you)
But then on stage I feel a fire burn
I give it to you babe with all my heart
(babe, want you, my love, babe, want you)
Baby don't you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
Baby don't you cry for me
It's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what life should be
