[Verse 1: Ariana Grande, MIKA & Both]
~#**************#~
You were the popular one, the popular chick
~#**************#~
It is what it is, now Im popular-ish
~#**************#~
Standin on the field with your pretty pompom
~#**************#~
Now youre workin at the movies sellin popular corn
~#**************#~
I coulda been a mess, but I never went wrong
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im puttin down my story in a popular song (La-la, la-la)
~#**************#~
Ah-ah, I said Im puttin down my story in a popular song
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: MIKA & Ariana Grande]
~#**************#~
My problem, I never was a model
~#**************#~
I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
~#**************#~
You were singin all the songs I dont know
~#**************#~
Now youre in the front row cause my song is popular
~#**************#~
[Chorus: MIKA & Both]
~#**************#~
Popular, I know about popular
~#**************#~
Its not about who you are or your fancy car

Youre only ever who you were
~#**************#~
Popular, I know about popular
~#**************#~
And all that you have to do is be true to you
~#**************#~

So catch up cause you got an awful long way to go
~#**************#~
So catch up cause you got an awful long way to go (Hey)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande, MIKA & Both]
~#**************#~
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
~#**************#~
Pickin on me like a dinner plate
~#**************#~
You hid during classes and in-between em
~#**************#~
Dunk me in the toilets, now its you that cleans them
~#**************#~
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
~#**************#~
It aint so funny when the jokes on you
~#**************#~
Ooh, the jokes on you
~#**************#~
Got everyone laughin, got everyone clappin, askin
~#**************#~
How come you look so cool?
~#**************#~
‘Cause thats the only thing that I learned at school, boy
~#**************#~
Uh-huh, I said thats the only thing that I learned at school
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: MIKA & Ariana Grande]
~#**************#~
