Here's the lyrics to Irene Cara's iconic song "Fame" :

Fame, fame, I want to wake up, where the city never sleeps And I'm on top, I want to make it, I've got to make it Get my name in lights, see my name in lights I'm gonna make it, I swear I'm gonna make it

They say fame is not all it's cracked up to be But when it's calling you, you can't ignore it I know I deserve, a life that's real And I don't want to waste it, on a life that's fake

"I've got to go on, I've got to show How can I tell them, I've got to go on It's been a ride, but I want more I've got to make it, I've got to score

Fame, fame, fame, fame Is what I want to feel I want to make it, I've got to make it Be on top, be on top, be on top

They say fame is not all it's cracked up to be But when it's calling you, you can't ignore it I know I deserve, a life that's real And I don't want to waste it, on a life that's fake

They say fame is not all it's cracked up to be But when it's calling you, you can't ignore it I know I deserve, a life that's real And I don't want to waste it, on a life that's fake
