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 and 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 wanna hit 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 door
Oh I'm just the girl next doorI don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself
I 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 standsI get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America, yeah, she's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next doorI'm just the girl, oh I'm just the girl next door
I'm just the girl next door
I'm just the girl next door
She is the prom queen and I'm just the girl next door
