[Verse 1]
I never used to smile and wave at the crowds
I never used to be so spoken out loud
My life has turned around, and that's just the way it is
I know I used to dream, but I never dreamed of this

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, here they come again
There's no escaping them
What do I gotta do to be
Finally free?

[Chorus]
Who ever knew (oh)
I would become a piece of history
But if I could choose (if I could choose)
Then I would still remain a mystery

[Verse 2]
I never understood the way that fame would work
But surely now I see the camera's always first
My life is on the page, and on the TV screen
I wish that I could hide, if you know what I mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, here they come again
There's no escaping them
What do I gotta do to be
Finally free?
[Chorus]
Who ever knew (oh)
I would become a piece of history
But if I could choose (if I could choose)
Then I would still remain a mystery

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Who ever knew (oh)
I would become a piece of history
But if I could choose (if I could choose)
Then I would still remain a mystery

Who ever knew (oh)
I would become a piece of history
But if I could choose (if I could choose)
Then I would still remain a mystery
