Private Lives

Look at the camera, it never lies
Make the headlines, it’s your life
Tell your story, cos money talks
And someone’s always waiting for the fee
You got an inside, they dish the dirt
Kiss and tell, knife in your back
Nothing’s sacred in this modern world
You know it’s just a tabloid thing you see
Private lives, secrets you never tell
There’s a price we all gotta pay
Private lives, you’ve been to hell and back
There’s a price we all gotta pay
Private lives, secrets you never tell
There’s a price we all gotta pay
Private lives, you’ve been to hell and back
There’s a price we all gotta pay
It’s only business, nothing personal
The price of fame is too good to miss
No paparazzi, no front page spread
No-one wants to know you when you’re dead
It’s a fine line that you’re walking
It’s give and take, then take some more
Your prize possessions, they want it all
They put you there, now you play the ball
Private lives, secrets you never tell
There’s a price we all gotta pay
Private lives, you’ve been to hell and back
There’s a price we all gotta pay
They build you up to knock you down
One day a star the next a clown
They build you up to knock you down
They turn your whole world around
Private lives, secrets you never tell
There’s a price we all gotta pay
Private lives, you’ve been to hell and back
There’s a price we all gotta pay
