Lyrics
[verse]
Cameras follow me to the grocery store
Strangers know my coffee order, ask for more
I used to want the whole world watching me
Now I just want a minute I can breathe
They print a story every time I blink
Selling versions of me that they think
I'm supposed to smile through every headline
But there's a real girl underneath the byline
[chorus]
Everybody wants a piece of me
Take a photo, take a rumor, let it be
I'm not a headline, I'm not a scene
I'm just a woman trying to stay clean
Everybody wants a piece of me
[verse]
They ask my business like they own a share
Comment on my weight and comment on my hair
I built this all from nothing but a dream
Now they treat my life like it's a public stream
I'm still the girl who used to sing for free
Before the world decided who I'd be
I'll keep the parts of me I want to keep
And give the rest a rest, I need my sleep
[chorus]
Everybody wants a piece of me
Take a photo, take a rumor, let it be
I'm not a headline, I'm not a scene
I'm just a woman trying to stay clean
Everybody wants a piece of me
[bridge]
So go on, take your picture
Write your story, mix the mixture
I'll still wake up tomorrow
Stronger than the words you borrow
[chorus]
Everybody wants a piece of me
Take a photo, take a rumor, let it be
I'm not a headline, I'm not a scene
I'm just a woman trying to stay clean
Everybody wants a piece of me
