So 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 hid during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilet now its you that cleans 'em
You tryin' to 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

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:
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

Catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go

                      D# A#
All you ever need to know
                         G#  D#
You're only ever who you were
                      D#  A#
All you ever need to know
                          G#  D#
You're only ever who you were
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
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
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

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)
