Small town Homecoming Queen, she's the star in their scene   There's no way to deny she's lovely   Perfect skin, perfected 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 a marchin' 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      Senior class President, she must be heaven sent   She was never the last one standing   A back-seat debutante, 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 a marchin' 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   Oh, 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 a marchin' band   And she is a cheerleader, I'm sittin' in the stands   I get a little bit, she gets a little more   She's Miss America, she's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door      (Every smile, she fakes)   (Everything she takes)   I'm just the girl next door      (Every day I wait)   (And everything's okay)   I'm just the girl next door      (Every smile she fakes)   I'm just the girl next door   (Everything heart she breaks)
