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.
Always 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.
That's all you ever need to know...
It's all you ever need to know...
