I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is runway models
Cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something I wanna be
Retro glamour, Hollywood
Yes, we live for the fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we gotta taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby, a shame, shame?
In it for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
I can see myself in the movies
With my picture in the city lights
Photograph my mind
And whatever else you'd like to shoot, you decide
All we care about is pornographic
Girls on film and body plastic
Give me something I wanna see
Television and hot blondes in odd positions
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we gotta taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby, a shame, shame?
In it for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Don't ask me how or why (or why)
But I'm gonna make it happen this time
My teenage dream tonight (tonight)
Yeah, I'm gonna make it happen this time (this time)
Fame
(Fame, doin' it for the fame)
('Cause we wanna live the life of the) rich and famous
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we gotta taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame), doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we gotta taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame
