La la, la la You were the popular one, the popular chick It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn I could have been a mess but I never went wrong 'Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
My problem, I never was a model, I never was a scholar, But you were always popular, You were singing, all the songs I don't know Now you're in the front row 'Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were Popular, I know about popular And all that you have to do, is be true to you That's all you ever need to know So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
I was on the lookout for someone to hate Picking on me like a dinner plate You hid during classes and in between them Dunked me in the toilets now it's you that cleans 'em You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do It ain't so funny when the joke's on you Ooh, the joke's on you Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking, \"How come you look so cool?\" 'Cause that's the only thing that I learnt at school, boy I said that's the only thing I learnt at school
My problem, I never was a model, I never was a scholar, But you were always popular, You were singing, all the songs I don't know Now you're in the front row 'Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were Popular, I know about popular And all that you have to do, is be true to you That's all you ever need to know So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
All you ever need to know You're only ever who you were All you ever need to know You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were Popular, I know about popular And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
