POPULAR GIRL

Intro

Yeah-yeah... (oh-oh)

Back in high school, everybody knew your name

Now we grown up, and nothing feels the same

(Ooh, yeah)

Verse 1

You were the popular girl back in school

Everybody wanted you, you made the rules

Walking down the hallway, heads turned your way

Had a thousand friends, had a thousand things to say

You thought you'd have the whole world in your hands

Thought love would always go exactly as you planned

But time moved on, and people changed

Now you're looking in the mirror like, "What happened to my fame?"

You gave your heart to somebody who didn't care

Now you're crying in your room like nobody's there

Funny how the tables turn, funny how it goes

The girl everybody wanted got nobody to hold

Pre-Chorus

And now you're feeling like a fool (like a fool)

'Cause the one you want don't want you too (oh, no)

You spent your whole life chasing everybody's eyes

Now you're learning that attention ain't the same as being loved inside

Chorus

She was the popular girl, everybody knew her name (yeah)

Now she's growing up, and nothing feels the same (oh-oh)

Wanting somebody who don't want her back

Trying to find a love that she knows she can't have

Now she feeling like a fool, like a fool (yeah)

'Cause she gave her heart away too soon (too soon)

Funny how you want the one who don't want you

And the one who really loved you, you never wanted me to

Verse 2

Now the parties ain't the same like they used to be

Everybody got a life, everybody got a family

Old pictures on your phone make you reminisce

Back when being young was all that you ever wished

Now you're sitting by the window, watching rain fall

Wondering why the person you love won't call

You'd give anything just to make it right

But he already moved on, and you're stuck in the night

And I know it hurts when you finally realize

You can't make somebody love you just by trying

You can wear your best clothes, you can fix your hair

But if their heart ain't yours, they ain't gonna care

Pre-Chorus

And now you're feeling like a fool (like a fool)

'Cause the one you want don't want you too (oh, no)

You spent your whole life thinking love was just a game

Now you're learning that a broken heart don't care about your name

Chorus

She was the popular girl, everybody knew her name (yeah)

Now she's growing up, and nothing feels the same (oh-oh)

Wanting somebody who don't want her back

Trying to find a love that she knows she can't have

Now she feeling like a fool, like a fool (yeah)

'Cause she gave her heart away too soon (too soon)

Funny how you want the one who don't want you

And the one who really loved you, you never wanted me to

Bridge

Oh, girl, don't cry forever (don't cry)

Some things just weren't meant to last (no, no)

You can't change somebody's feelings

And you can't keep living in the past

You ain't gotta be the girl everybody knows

You just gotta find somebody who won't let you go

Growing up means learning love ain't always fair

Sometimes the right one wasn't the one standing there

Chorus

She was the popular girl, everybody knew her name (yeah)

Now she's growing up, and nothing feels the same (oh-oh)

Wanting somebody who don't want her back

Trying to find a love that she knows she can't have

Now she feeling like a fool, like a fool (yeah)

'Cause she gave her heart away too soon (too soon)

Funny how you want the one who don't want you

And the one who really loved you, you never wanted me to

Outro

Yeah-yeah...

Popular girl, you don't gotta be afraid (oh-oh)

Everybody grows, everybody changes

Sometimes you lose somebody you wanted

Just to find somebody who wants you the same...

(Ooh, yeah... yeah-yeah)
