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.
Any tough can fight, few can play.
Any fool can fall, few can lay.
Any stud can reproduce, few can please.
Any boy can pay a bill,you can tease.
I just wana be popular
I just wana be popular
I don't really care who you are
I just wana be popular
Any man can claim, few can find.
Any girl can blink, few can lie.
Any soul can sleep-few can die.
Any wimp can weep-few can cry.
I just wana be popular
I just wana be popular
I don't realy care who you are
I just wana be popular
I wana be more popular than the rest
I'll do anything anything to impress
Everyone is average but I just wanna be the best
Everything thing I do has to be a fact of interest
Popular
I want to be popular
I just gotta be popular
Popular
Any brain can hide-few can stand.
Any kid can fly-few can land.
Any gang can scatter-few can form.
Any child can chatter-few can storm.
Anyone can fight - few can play.
Anyone can try - but few can stay.
Anyone can cuss - but few can lay.
Everyone complains - but you can say.
I just wana be popular
I just wana be popular
I don't realy care who you are
I just wana be popular
I just wana be popular
I just wana be popular
I don't realy care who you are
I just wana be popular
