Just an illusion
I've been told 'bout living like a starHotel Ritz, champagne and caviarBut no-one ever showed me the reverseAnd that really hurts, babe, it really hurts
They try to sell your body and your soul(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)It's the price you pay for rock 'n roll(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)And no-one understands it how you feelFor it's so unreal, oh, it's so unreal
Baby, don't you cry for meIt's an illusion, just an illusionI thought I knew what life should beIt's an illusion, just an illusion
When critics crucify your latest show(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)Another drink and then you lose control(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)But then on stage I feel a fire burnThere is no return, I'm always on the run
I give it to you, babe, with all my heart(Babe, want you, my love, babe, I want you)For it's not too late, baby, it's not too late
Baby, don't you cry for meIt's an illusion, just an illusionI thought I knew what life should beIt's an illusion, just an illusion
Baby, don't you cry for meIt's an illusion, just an illusionI thought I knew what life should beIt's an illusion, just an illusion.
