Mika - Popular Song Lyrics

Mika – Popular Song Lyrics (feat Arianna Grande)

La la, la la
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 pompoms
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
I said I’m putting down my story in a popular song

[Chorus]
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
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 on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
Get hit during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets, it’s now you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain’t so funny when the joke’s on you
Uh, the joke’s on you
Get everyone laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
‘Cause that’s the only thing that I learned at school
I said that’s the only thing that I learned at school

[Chorus]
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
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
(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)
