Small town homecoming queen, she's the star of this scene
There's no way to deny, she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair, perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly

Maybe I'm just jealous, I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her

She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sittin' in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleepin' on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
I'm just the girl next door

Senior class president, she must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A well-known debutant, everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demanding

Maybe I'll admit it, I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her

She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is the cheerleader, I'm sittin' in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleepin' on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
Oh and I'm just the girl next door
I'm just the girl next door

I don't know why I'm feelin' sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishin' that I was someone else

She is the prom queen, I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sittin' in the stands

I 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 door
Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
And I'm just the girl next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm just the girl next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm just the girl next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm just the girl next door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
