I hate to say it but they play this damn song in every club
But it's me so I'll show love
But it's me so show me love
When I walk into the room people stop and stare
It's like nobody else is there
You know it's me not you
Who said anything about you

[Chorus]
Boys and girls pretend to know me they try so hard
And I get what I want my name is my credit card
Don't try to hate me because I am so pop pop ular pop pop ular

Pop pop ular pop pop ular

Most guys I dated got intimidated so now I date up
If you know what that means they shut up
If you know what that means just shut up
Cause I don't wanna give half away
On a date we don't make up
If you know what I mean we wake up
If you know what I mean we break up

[Chorus]

Pop pop ular pop pop ular

You always wanna be around me
So you know what it's like
When the world is at your feet
And you're VIP tonight
Either you got it or you don't
And I'm sorry you won't
Get there by using me
Just go on do your own thing

[Chorus]

Pop pop ular pop pop ular
