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

She walks down the street, knocks 'em dead on their feet

And in the end, all she'll be is your friend
Though passion's your lone desire
She's the one you can't touch, you want her so much
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......
