Just an Illusion

I've been told 'bout living like a star Hotel Ritz, champaign and caviar But no one ever showed me the reverse And that really hurts Babe, it really hurts They try to sell your body and your soul (Babe, want you, my love, babe, want you) It's the price you pay for rock 'n' roll (Babe, want you, my love, babe, want you) And no one understands it how you feel For it's so unreal Oh, it's so unreal Baby, don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what life should be It's an illusion Just an illusion When critics crucify your latest show (Babe, want you, my love, babe, want you) Another drink and then you lose control (Babe, want you, my love, babe, want you) 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 (Babe, want you, my love, babe, want you) For it's not too late Baby, it's not too late Baby, don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what life should be It's an illusion Just an illusion Baby, don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what life should be It's an illusion Just an illusion
