Just an illusion
I've been told 'bout living like a starHotel Rich, champagne and caviarBut no one ever showed me the reverse
And that really hurts, babe, it really hurts
I want youI need you
They try to sell your body and you soulIt's the price you pay for rock'n rollAnd 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 like should beIt's an illusion, just an illusion
When critics crucify your latest showAnother drink and then you lose controlBut then on stage I feel a fire burnThere is no return; I'm always on the runI give it to you, babe, with all my heartFor 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 illsuion, just an illusion
