I, I, I, I wanna be popular
I wanna be cool, I wanna be everything that I’m not
Uh, uh, I wanna be so her, I wanna run the show
I want everything that she’s got

I’m on a mission to be somebody different
Cause everybody’ saying that I’m just slipping through the cracks
I’m not fitting in
So I just get it in when I can get it in
They tell me my songs suck before I can even finish them
I’m just a minute in damn
I wanna be in movies
I’d trade in all my friends for groupies
You’ll see that I, I

I, I, I, I wanna be popular
I wanna be cool, I wanna be everything that I’m not
Uh, uh, I wanna be so her, I wanna run the show
I want everything that she’s got

I wanna hang with the guys and I might
But I don’t think I know how to fight
Wrecking wait correction
Ain’t been trained in self protection
Naw its about that I’ll be showing love but get no love back
Standing in line for the clubs that don’t take lames
So I get pushed to the back
I wanna be in movies
I’d trade in all my cents for two seaters
You’ll see that I, I

I, I, I, I wanna be popular
I wanna be cool, I wanna be everything that I’m not
Uh, uh, I wanna be so her, I wanna run the show
I want everything that she’s got

Popular, socially constructed
The chains of definition personally corrupting it
I be so verbally disrupted
Perfectly adjusted with your air phone volume
They say T you so crazy
Vision more chink than a Chinese baby
Thanks for giving that I got gravy
Number one spot pipe down little lady
Fronting taking pictures all night
You roll grams you don’t even roll dice
Drinking hot Kool Aid
You ain’t even got ice
Stay on you like
First grade all lies
Spray tan on you
So dang on bright
Tell the Marlboro man he ain’t gotta bring the light
And my ex boyfriend he ain’t gotta be nice
Cause he’s my number one fan he ain’t gotta have a life
I’m like

I, I, I, I wanna be popular
I wanna be cool, I wanna be everything that I’m not
Uh, uh, I wanna be so her, I wanna run the show
I want everything that she’s got
I, I, I, I wanna be popular
