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 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 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 Senior 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 demanding Maybe 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 door I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for myself Spend all my time wishing that I was someone else 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 door I get a little bit, she gets a little more She's Miss America And I'm just the girl next door
