She's the most popular girl in school
She's dating the star of the football team
And owns it all
Everyone looks up to her
Even those who don't care
'Cuz she walks around
With her confident air
And she's the most popular girl in school.
So here he comes again,
The boy who makes girls faint
And all the guys cheer in victory
He drives a Porsche and lives in a mansion
With parents who eat caviar
And own yachts that they ride on the weekends
Look, there he goes - he's won the game again!
. . . I wonder what it's like to be a winner . . .
I'd give anything for a day
To be the most popular girl in school
To turn some heads with just my smile
To make these rich quarterbacks pay attention for awhile
Look, they're at it AGAIN - the head cheerleader and that same star player
Locking lips for the hundredth time atop that cherry red Porsche of his
The teachers don't stop them
Neither does anyone else
Because they're ultimately invincible
And they know it.
As I slip this silver promise
In it's momentary home
I think to myself that even the most popular girl
Will turn out for this one.
Maybe she'll even say a speech for me.
Maybe this 'dream guy' on the football team
(Who I don't really know, and don't really want)
Will notice that I'm gone
Into a world far more great
So with tears, I point the gun to my head
And with a BANG! . . .
. . . The world escapes.
So here she comes again
She's the most popular girl in school
Her arms around her boyfriend's side
As hundreds of students gather around
To say a final good-bye
They all whisper amongst themselves,
Wondering the reason why.
But in my sleep, I want to say
To all these teary fools -
"You guys, don't cry! I've finally made it!
. . . I'm the most popular girl in school."
