Small town homecoming queen
She's a star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's uglyMaybe I'm just jealous I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date herShe is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next doorSenior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutante
Everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demandingMaybe I'll admit it, I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her, but I just want to hit herâ? ¦She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next doorI don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
Spend all my time wishing that I was someone elseShe is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next doorI get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
