Class # 17 - Fame




Baby look at meAnd tell me what you see.


You ain't seen the best of me yet


Give me time,


I'll make you forget the rest.


I got more in me, and you can set it free


I can catch the moon in my hand


Don't you know who I am?


Chorus:


Remember my name (Fame)


I'm gonna live foreverI'm gonna learn how to fly (High)I feel it coming togetherPeople will see me and die (Fame)


I'm gonna make it to heaven


Light up the sky like a flame (Fame)


I'm gonna live forever


Baby, remember my name


Remember, remember, remember, remember,


Remember, remember, remember, remember


Baby hold me tight


And you can make it right.


You can shoot me straight to the top


Give me love and take all I got.


Baby I'll be tough


Too much is not enough


I'll surround your heart til it breaks


You know I got what it takes.


Repeat chorus
