Fame-What Does It Cost?

I dont wanna be like you i dont wanna follow a sheep and wear blue i dont wanna be size
zero like so many before i wanna be me but what is that all for? they say its all worth it
but is it when your lifes all over the papers? they say youre a star one minute and its
over the next i just want to be me not the best  ill wear what i like and do what i want
ill follow your guidance but only this once....
dreams of fame but when it fails whose the one to blame dreams of me in glitter but didnt
they tell you youre all the same i couldnt be the way you wanted so i was shoved to the
back of the que sick of this life fame has put me through
sick of this fame oh sick of this fame.....
crazy clothes and crazy hair do you think my makeup is fair? waiting for your song to get
to number 1 but when  its over they will all forget were you came from wishing you hadnt
got photographed in that short skirt now everyone says youre a flirt is this the price
that fame costs 
youre real identity is what you truly lost....
dreams of fame but when it fails whose the one to blame dreams of me in glitter but didnt
they tell you youre all the same i couldnt be the way you wanted so i was shoved to the
back of the que sick of this life fame has put me through
sick of this fame oh sick of this fame oh baby
