When studying as a beginner, piano music ought to be "chunked" -- that is, treat the bit of music for a set of smaller pieces, much less a whole. Should you learn the songs a piece at a time you will discover the songs far more amenable. That isn't to say you'll be able to play it perfectly in a few days -- you have to realize there is not any fast way to learn to play the piano. Make sure that your practice time is known like people around you -- tell them you'd prefer never to be affected during that period. Set yourself realistic targets for the weeks and months ahead, and you'll reach them. It's admirable wanting to play with one of the favourite parts of sheet music, however, if you continue to be a beginner you may not realize at first how difficult popular songs often is. The authors of even a few of the simplest popular music have generally had a lot of experience with composing songs, and they put that to their own compositions. I would suggest that you need to start with easier pieces of songs so as that you do not become frustrate and disillusioned, and therefore stop trying.
