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
