Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were the popular one
The popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular, bitch
Standin' on the field with your pretty pom pom
Now you're workin' at the movies sellin' popular corn
[Verse 2]
I could have been a mess, but I never went wrong
'Cause I'm puttin' down my stories in a popular song
I said I'm puttin' down my story in a popular song
[Verse 3]
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar
You were always popular
You were singin'
All the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
[Verse 4]
Popular
(I know about popular)
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Catch up
'Cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up
'Cause you got an awful long way to go
[Verse 7]
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
Pickin' on me like a dinner plate
I hid during classes and in between them
Dunked me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
[Verse 8]
You tried to make me feel bad with the shit you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Oh the joke's on you
And everyone's laughin'
Got everyone clappin'
Askin', "How come you look so cool?"
'Cause that's the only thing that I learned about school
What? (Uh huh)
So that's the only thing that I learned at school
[Verse 9]
My problem, I never was a model
I never was a scholar
You were always popular
You were singin'
All the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
[Verse 10]
Popular
(I know about popular)
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
Catch up
'Cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up
'Cause you got an awful long way to go
[Verse 13]
Before the next time that you him crazy, lazy
A faggot or that fugazy
Here's the one thing that's so amazing
It ain't a bad thing to be a loser, baby
[Verse 14]
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
All you ever need to know
[Verse 15]
Popular
(I know about popular)
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
[Verse 16]
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
[Verse 17]
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
That's all you ever need to know
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
All the songs I don't know
You're only ever who you were
That's all you ever need to know
All you ever need to know
