Popular Song
[Intro: Priscilla Renea]
Psychotic, Barney Mika rap
La la, la la
[Verse 1: MIKA & Priscilla Renea]
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-pons
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 stories in a popular song
(La la) (Uh ooh)
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
[Pre-Chorus: MIKA with Priscilla Renea]
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
[Chorus: MIKA]
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
[Post-Chorus: MIKA with Priscilla Renea]
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
[Verse 2: MIKA, Priscilla Renea, both]
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on meat like a dinner plate
I hid during classes, and in between them
Dunked me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans 'em
You tryna make me feel bad with the shit you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
And everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
"How come you look so cool?"
'Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school (Ha, what?) (Uh-huh)
Said that's the only thing I've learned at school
[Pre-Chorus: both]
See, 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
[Chorus: MIKA with Priscilla Renea]
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
[Post-Chorus: MIKA with Priscilla Renea]
Catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
[Bridge: MIKA, Priscilla Renea, both]
Before the next time that you call 'em crazy, lazy
A faggot or that fugazi
Here's the one thing that's so amazing
It ain't a bad thing to be a loser, baby!
[Interlude: Priscilla Renea]
All you ever need to know (La la)
You're only ever who you were (La la)
All you ever need to know (La la)
You're only ever who you were (La la)
All you ever need to know
[Chorus: MIKA & Priscilla Renea]
Popular, I know about popular (All you ever need to know)
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were (That's all you ever need to know)
Popular, I know about popular (All you ever need to know)
And all that you have to do is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
[Outro: Priscilla Renea & MIKA]
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 (That's all you ever need to know)
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 (That's all you ever need to know)
All you ever need to know
