Lah, lah
00:05
Lah, lah-ah-ah-ah
00:07
You were the popular one, the popular chick
00:09
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
00:12
Standing on the field with your pretty pom-pom
00:14
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
00:16
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
00:19
'Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
00:21
I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
00:26
My problem
00:29
I never was a model
00:30
I never was a scholar
00:32
But you were always popular
00:35
You were singing all the songs I don't know
00:38
Now you're in the front row
00:42
'Cause my song is popular
00:44
Popular, I know about popular
00:48
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
00:52
You're only ever who you were
00:55
Popular, I know about popular
00:58
And all that you have to do is be true to you
01:02
That's all you ever need to know
01:05
So catch up
01:07
'Cause you've got an awful long way to go
01:08
So catch up
01:12
'Cause you've got an awful long way to go
01:13
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
01:17
Picking on me like a dinner plate
01:20
You hit during classes, and in between them
01:22
Dunked me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
01:25
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
01:27
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
01:29
Ooh, the joke's on you
01:32
Got everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
01:33
"How come you look so cool?"
01:37
'Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school, boy (uh huh)
01:39
I said, that's the only thing that I've learned at school
01:44
My problem
01:46
I never was a model
01:48
I never was a scholar
01:50
But you were always popular
01:52
You were singing all the songs I don't know
01:55
Now you're in the front row
02:00
'Cause my song is popular
02:02
Popular, I know about popular
02:06
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
02:10
You're only ever who you were
02:13
Popular, I know about popular
02:15
And all that you have to do is be true to you
02:19
That's all you ever need to know
02:23
So catch up
02:25
'Cause you've got an awful long way to go
02:26
So catch up
02:30
'Cause you've got an awful long way to go
02:30
It's all you ever need to know
02:34
You're only ever who you were (Yeah baby)
02:36
It's all you ever need to know (Oh baby)
02:38
You're only ever who you were (It's all you ever need to know)
02:41
It's all you ever need to know
02:43
Popular, I know about popular
02:45
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
02:48
You're only ever who you were
02:52
Popular, I know about popular
02:54
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
02:58
You're only ever who you were
03:01
Popular, I know about popular
03:04
And all that you have to do is be true to you
03:08
That's all you ever need to know

You were the popular one, the popular chick
