Popular Song (feat. Mika)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were the popular one
The popular chick
It is what it is
Now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could've been a mess but I never went wrong
'Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Uh-huh, I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
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
And 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
Always 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 toilets, now it's you that cleans 'em
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone laughing
Got everyone clapping, asking
How could you, you look so cool?
'Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school, boy
Uh-huh, I said that's the only thing I've learned at school
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
And 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
That's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
That's all you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
That's 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
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
That's all you ever need to know
