Popular Song

You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now we're popular-ish
Standing on a field with your pretty pompoms
Now you're working on a movie, selling popular corn
I could've been a mess, but I never went wrong
'Cause I put it 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
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 all about popular
It's not all about who you are
Or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know all about popular
And all that you have to do
Is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go
Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go

I was on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You hate during classes and in between them
Dump me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
You try 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 laughin'
Got everyone clappin', askin'
How come you look so cool?
'Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school, boy
I said that's the only thing that I learned at school

My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar
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 all about popular
It's not all about who you are
Or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know all about popular
And all that you have to do
Is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know

Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go
Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go

That's all you ever need to know
That's all you ever need to know
That's all you ever need to know
That's all you ever need to know
That's all you ever need to know

Popular, I know all about popular
It's not all about who you are
Or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know all about popular (That's all you ever need to know)
It's not all about who you are
Or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were (That's all you ever need to know)
Popular, I know all about popular (That's all you ever need to know)
And all that you have to do
Is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know (That's all you ever need to know)
