[Intro]
Well you made your bed
Better lie in it
Get back to sleep

[Verse 1]
You should see me when you're not around
I'm a genius in this town
I'm a queen bee when the coast is clear
Now I know I don't need you dear
So leave your hand like a magic man and disappear

[Chorus]
You're history (like a beat up car)
No good for me (like an old film star)
You're history (that's what you are)
Nah nah nah nah

You're history (you're history)
No good for me (no good for me)
You're history (you're history)
Nah nah nah nah nah

[Verse 2]
You should see me from your ivory tower
I'm the hero of the hour
I'm a close friend of destiny
When you're not here to bother me

[Pre-Chorus]
Well you made your bed
Better lie in it
Get back to sleep

[Chorus]
You're history (like ancient Rome)
No good for me (like the Dead Sea Scrolls)
You're history (everybody knows)
Nah nah nah nah

You're history (you're history)
My enemy (my enemy)
You're history (you're history)
Nah nah nah nah nah

[Bridge]
So get on your bike
And take a hike
Right out of here

[Chorus]
You're history (you're history)
No good for me (no good for me)
You're history (you're history)
Nah nah nah nah

You're history (like a worn-out shoe)
My enemy (you're nothing new)
You're history (you're history)
Ooh-ooh-ooh

You're history (like a beat up car)
No good for me (like an old film star) -
You're history (you're history)
Nah nah nah nah

You're history (sing it girl, let me hear you)
You're history
Nah nah nah nah

You're history (hm)
My enemy (bye-bye, bye-bye)
You're history (so long)
(You're history, I'll catch you later)

Shakespears Sister

Shakespear’s Sister is a pop-rock duo formed in 1988 by Siobhan Fahey, who left Bananarama after disagreements with the musical direction the band was going. The band was originally intended to be Fahey’s solo project, but immediately became a duo after she recruited American singer Marcella Detroit (aka Marcy Levy).
