You were the popular one, the popular chick 
It is what it is, now I'm popular [bad word] 
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons 
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn 
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong 
Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song 
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song 

My problem, I never was a model, 
I never was a scholar, 
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 

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 [bad word] to you 
That's all you ever need to know 
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to do 
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go 

I was on the lookout for someone to hate 
Picking on me like a dinner plate 
I'd hid during classes, and in between them 
Dunk me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them 
You tried to make me feel bad 
With the [bad word] you do 
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you 
Uh, the joke's on you 
And everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking  [bad word] you look so cool? 
Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school 
So that's the only thing I've learned at school 

My problem, I never was a model, 
I never was a scholar, 
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 

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 [bad word] to you 
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to do 
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go 

Before the next time that you call him crazy 
Lazy, a [bad word]  or that fugazi 
Here's the one thing that's so amazing 
It ain't a bad thing to be a loser baby 
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 
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 [bad word] to you.
