Popular Girl Lyrics

When she walks in the room, every eye in the place 
Turns to follow her every move 
She's arrived on the scene in her diamonds and jeans 
World class, she's got nothing to prove 
It takes a long time to know her, she gives it up a little at a time 

She's gettin' what she wants, she's a popular girl 
Settin' those hearts on fire 
Everybody wants to be part of her world 
She's a popular girl, such a popular girl

And in the end, all she'll be is your friend 
Though passion's your lone desire

You're burnin', your heart's on fire 
It takes a hard man to hold her (takes a hard man to hold her) 
The challenge is forever on my mind 

She's gettin' what she wants, she's a popular girl 
Settin' those hearts on fire 
Everybody wants to be part of her world 
She's a popular girl, such a popular girl 
She's gettin' what she wants, she's a popular girl 
Settin' those hearts on fire 
Everybody wants to be part of her world 
She's a popular girl, such a popular girl 
She's gettin' what she wants, she's a popular girl 
Settin' those hearts on fire 
Everybody wants to be part of her world 
She's a popular girl, such a.......
