La la, la la
You're the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now a popular ex
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
(La la, la la)
I said I'm putting down my stroy in a popular song
My trouble, 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
I’d hit during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilet sound to that cleans
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain’t so funny when the joke’s on you
Uh, 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’ve learned at school, boy
I said that’s the only thing I’ve learned at school
My trouble, 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
It's all you ever need to know
You’re only ever who you were
It's all you ever need to know
You’re only ever who you were
It's 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
And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
It's all you ever need to know
