Lyrics

You were the popular one, the popular chick It is what it is, now I'm popular, bitch Standing on the field with your pretty pom-pom Now you're working at the movies selling popular corn I could have been a mess, but I never went wrong Putting down my stories in a popular song (Ah, ah) I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song So my problem, 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 Oh, I said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "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 Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go I said catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go Always on the lookout for someone to hate Picking on me like a dinner plate I hid during classes and in between them You dunk me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them 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? Got everyone laughing Got everyone clapping, asking "How come you look so cool?" Well, that's the only thing that I learned at school, yeah Oh, that's the only thing that I learned at school So my problem, 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 Said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "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 Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go (I said...) Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go Before the next time that you call him crazy Lazy, a faggot or that fugayzee Here's the one thing that's so amazing It ain't a bad thing to be a loser, baby Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" I said "Popular," I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were I said "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 Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go (I said...) Catch up, 'cause you've got an awful long way to go
