Lyrics

Popular Guy © 2026 F. Mayes, T. Strickland

Childhood. Looking Good. Grows up a true believer.
Class Clown. Fools Around. Expert under achiever.
Con man. Has a plan. He’s a true deceiver.
Everyone knows the popular guy.

Rich friends and lots of cheap thrills.
Trust fund is paying the bills.
Cashing in daddy’s will last for awhile.

Silver cup. Moving up. The competition shatters.
Make the deal. Grease the wheels. That’s all that really matters.
Back at home. All alone. She leaves a life in tatters.
Everyone knows the popular guy.

Hedge funds and pyramid schemes.
Walking away with your dreams.
Meanwhile all self esteem just says goodbye. Goodbye!

He dances so fine. Knows all the right lines.
Clothes fit by design. Drinks strawberry wine.
He’s the popular guy!

Everyone knows the popular guy. He’s the guy!
They all like to watch him slip and slide! Slip and slide!
