Girl Next Door

The first time I heard this song [Girl Next Door] on radio, I actually paid closer attention to the lyrics. Usually I'd just listen to the general tune if I'm hearing a song for the first time.

I went on to ask Steph for the song...and it's on my playlist now!

The words are so apt. I don't deny I've felt the same way as how the lyrics described the girl.
sucky lah.

the Prom Queen here merely acts as a metaphorical term to describe anyone who has ever made me feel inferior and less beautiful...

Yes, I'm shallow.........but that's because I'm only human...

Small town homecoming queen
She's the 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 to 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 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 and I'm just the girl next door

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