Popular

Cathy lives alone
The smile she wore has turned to stone
Because she hasn't got
Everything she wanted when she was a young girl
Pretty things that cost a lot

Oh, why?
I'll tell you why

She wants to be so popular
It makes her stand out on the street at night
And wave her skirt at every boy who passes by
So popular
If she'd only give love a try
Love a try

The streets
They get so dark
She never sees the light
Working til the break of day
Oh, she's got a man, she says
He treats her so right
He gives her ten percent of her take every night

That's messed up
Oh, why

She wants to be so popular
It makes her stand out on the street at night
And wave her skirt at every boy who passes by
So popular
If she'd only give love a try
Love a try

Slide, y'all
Knowing about corners

She wants to be so popular
It makes her stand out on the street at night
And wave her skirt at every boy who passes by
So popular
If she'd only give love a try
Love a try
