Fame Won't Love You Songtext
von Sia feat. Paris Hilton

Watch children cry, the pageant sells the lie
Third place isn′t winning, you know
Neither is first, the pressure and the thirst
For this skeleton's show

I am so thin-skinned, don′t scratch the surface
Please let me live within, within this circus

Little dreams come crashing, let them wave in passing
'Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys, and blockbusters
Fame won′t love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, oh
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa, oh
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should


I searched in your eyes for some glimmer of light
Tap dancing for one million miles
I looked for the smiles, oh, hoping in them I′d find
Validation for my futile existence

I am so thin-skinned, don't scratch the surface
Please let me live within, within this circus

Little dreams come crashing, let them wave in passing
′Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys, and blockbusters
′Cause fame won't love you like a brother, like a lover should

No, no
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
No, no
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should

No, whoa
Fame won′t love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa, oh
Fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa
