[Verse 1]
I'll tell you what happened, don't think it didn't hurt
Or that I made it up, that's how it went down
I was with my baby, it was a pretty special thang
But I got obsessed with something that was hurting him
Thousands of songs on my mind and he could see that
And he told me so a bunch of times but me, I paid it no mind

[Chorus]
Fame's a lousy lover and won't ever love you for real
Too much of a back stabber who comes as easy as she goes
You know she's the jealous kind I'll never trust
If you want, sleep with her but don't tie no knot

[Verse 2]
What happened left me sleepless, I can't even think
Her blood boils, she always wants morе
Her ambition's like stabbings
Sharp on my chest, it's thе worst

[Chorus]
Fame's a lousy lover and won't ever love you for real
Too much of a back stabber who comes as easy as she goes
You know she's the jealous kind I'll never trust
If I want I'll sleep with her but never tie the knot

[Bridge]
There's no way
This obsession goes away
Hightail it, disappear
I still haven't figured out a way
There's no way to make it go away

[Chorus]
Fame's a lousy lover and won't ever love you for real
Too much of a back stabber who comes as easy as she goes (Uh)
You know she's the jealous kind I'll never trust
If I want to, I'll sleep with her but I'm never tie no knot
