I've been told 'bout living like a star
Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar
but no one ever showed me the reverse
and that really hurts, Lord, it really hurts

I want you
I need you

They try to sell your body and you soul
it's the price you pay for rock'n roll
and no one understands it, how you feel
for it's so unreal, Lord, it's so unreal

refrain:
Baby, don't you cry for me
it's an illusion, just an illusion
I thought I knew what like should be
it's an illusion, just an illusion

When critics crucify your latest show
another drink and then you lose control
but then on stage I feel a fire burn
there is no return; I'm always on the run
I give it to you, babe, with all my heart
for it's not too late, Lord, it's not too late

refrain
