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
