feat. Mika
La la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I’m popular itch,
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
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
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 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
Thats all you ever need to know
Catch up, ’cause you got an awful long way to do
Catch up, ’cause you got an awful long way to do
I was on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You hid during classes and in between them
Dunk me in the toilet now it’s you that cleans them
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
And 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
So that’s the only thing I’ve 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 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
Thats all you ever need to know
Catch up, ’cause you got an awful long way to do
Catch up, ’cause you got an awful long way to do
All you ever need to know
You’re only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
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
Thats all you ever need to know
