Clark, Brandy - Girl Next Door Lyrics






When you took me home
You knew who you were taking
Not some Debbie debutante standing in an apron
Frying up your bacon

My house and my mouth and my mind get kinda trashy
I've never been to jail, but Hell, I wouldn't put it past me, so

If you want the girl next door
Some Virgin Mary metaphor
Your cardboard cutout on the wall
Your paper or your Barbie doll
With perfect hair and a perfect dress
I'm really just the perfect mess
And I ain't nothing less or nothing more
So, baby, if you want the girl next door

Then go next door and go right now
And don't look back, don't turn around
And don't call me when you get bored
Yeah, if you want the girl next door
Then go next door

Sorry I ain't sorry
That I ain't your Marsha Brady, uh-uh
If I ever met her, bet she'd probably hate me
Cause you'd wanna date me

My heart and my head and my bed can get real twisted
And you wouldn't be the first to think you could go and fix it

If you want the girl next door
Some Virgin Mary metaphor
Your cardboard cutout on the wall
Your paper or your Barbie doll
With perfect hair and a perfect dress
I'm really just the perfect mess
And I ain't nothing less or nothing more
So, baby, if you want the girl next door

Then go next door and go right now
And don't look back, don't turn around
And don't call me when you get bored
Yeah, if you want the girl next door
Then go next door

The thing that turns you on is what you wanna change
But you have a better chance of slowing down a train

If you want the girl next door
Some Virgin Mary metaphor
Your cardboard cutout on the wall
Your paper or your Barbie doll
With perfect hair and a perfect dress
I'm really just the perfect mess
And I ain't nothing less or nothing more
So, baby, if you want the girl next door

Then go next door and go right now
And don't look back, don't turn around
And don't call me when you get bored
Yeah, if you want the girl next door
Then go next door

Clark, Brandy Girl Next Door Comments
  1. R.... B....

    If she were in to Ralphs this Bumblus would live next door to her

  2. M.... ....

    Not all country is shit.

  3. A.... t....

    I don't like contr but I like this

  4. t.... h....

    Great song!! Nice sound. I wonder if she would consider singing one of mine as I have a couple dandys waiting for a great home such as her voice! WOW good!

  5. K.... F....

    I love this song title so good

  6. e.... m....

    Love Brandy and her music, but it's kind of disappointing that the only known LGBT country singer has her videos and many songs based around straight relationships. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    e.... m....

    Ikr it's sad and the country music genre is pretty anti lgbt

    e.... m....

    You should look up chely wright and you'll see what I mean

  7. A.... M....

    I love this song <3

  8. S.... F....

    She's very underrated. Love her voice. She's country music more like what country used to be.

  9. K.... M....

    Brandi we need more videos from you. Where have you been?

  10. F.... 6....

    I went next door but forgot my magnums 😱🤪

  11. D.... S....

    If I have to go next door to get that blonde then I'll head over there now. Thanks for the advice.

    D.... S....

    brandy got there first.

  12. j.... m....

    Horrible!

  13. J.... B....

    Just discovered her. Better late than never. Wow!

  14. G.... ....

    Brilliant country singer would love to see her live ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

  15. D.... N....

    she is smokin' hot!! I am so lucky to be a lesbian!!

  16. J.... R....

    I like her voice ~Marcie

  17. N.... K....

    Gotta be one of the saltiest songs I've ever heard. He doesn't like you. He likes someone else. Get over it and move on. Why does every country song have to be so creepy and stalkerish?

  18. l.... _....

    Am i the only one who heard it at six flags great America

  19. N.... ....

    this is SUCH a 90s country feel

  20. N.... A....

    I love Brandy Clark!!! She's my hero, my idol ❤
    I've been listening to her music ever since "Stripes" & "12 Stories" came out.She have done a huge change to my life, and really inspired me. So much that I wanna write my own country songs & to become a country singer.I've written 37 songs 'bout her.
    She makes my ❤ happy every day!She's my celebrity woman crush everyday of my life❤Can't tell you how much she means to me..
    I got to meet and see her for the very first time in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Vanguard on November 17th, 2017.When I got to meet her, She recognized me!But, when I got meet her for the 1st time, She was like "What is your name?"When I said my name, She was like "Oh, no Nicholas!" So glad to finally meet you!That night I told her that she's my hero.I also gave her one of my songs I've written about her called: "An Angel to Be My Hero".And, She signed one of my songs I've written about her called "Listening and Keep On Loving Her".
    Then after I took a pic a with her, I told her that I was writing another song 'bout her.Then she told me "Keep Writing Those Songs"
    She made my 2017 the best year of my life.She wished me a Happy Birthday on July 17th, 2017.And, She followed me on Twitter on my Birthday.Then she followed me on Instagram 2 days before my Birthday.
    Without her, I'd be lost.

  30. B.... K....

    I just her on my XM on the Jimmy Buffett channel and I am now hooked on her and her music and I'm not a country fan. What a great talent!! I'm making a separate playlist with just her music!

  31. B.... W....

    (GIRL NEXT DOOR )!!!!!!!!!

  32. P.... G....

    I hope you join Willy s Farm Aid in September and create a song for the farmer....some farmers are brewing their own beer as a way to survive here in VT and it would be a great tribute if you could write a song about farmers and their beer and make the world aware of where their simple luxury everyday or just on the weekends comes from! Their beer!

  33. P.... G....

    A gal came into a bar called the Spanked Puppy in Colchester VT and dissed some guys sports team looking all perfect and blonde and pretty sittin on her perky seatee....then she asked him where he was from and a friend spoke up and said he s a third generation.....FARMER....she stuck her nose in the air with a flair and said PFFFFT! Figures....while guzzling that beer that came from the mud of the boots of a farmer toiling growing hops and barley and don't much care for little Miss Narley flinging her hair and sticking her nose up in the air....so then she had a shot of whiskey and was getting pretty frisky with all the boys buying her drinks like Johhny, Jimmy, Bud and Heinee....boys that raised a glass and fought the wars like so many of their brothers so long ago and more....my friend told me not to start a fight but I really wanted to knock that Miss Narley off her pink princess Harely and tell her you dumb bunny brat....your drinking liquid sunshine farmer boys grew so you could sit her and stick your nose up in the air with not a care...what don't you get down off that wooden bar stool horse and shove that brown bottle of beer up your tight little arse because around here we grow our beer, brew our beer and drink our beer...we don't wait on narley stuck up dumb bunny brats round here! OH VT has become a beer brewing state and I couldn't believe this dumb bunny brat walking in and acting like that! PFFFT Dumb bunny brats....we don't need your money ....SKAT!

    P.... G....

    I think she came from Jersey.....guess there aren't anymore Jersey cows in Jersey and no more farmers either...it sticks worse in Jersey than my brother s barn ever stunk with cow shit...ever drive through New Jersey?

  34. y.... t....

    I vomited all over myself my face is stuck in a cringe position I think I'll Take The Girl Next Door 😂

  35. p.... r....

    Mesmerizing and addictive

  36. C.... C....

    she has made me fall in love with country music all over again!

  37. 2.... ....

    Cool song.

  38. J.... B....

    I want the fringe jacket Brandy is wearing. Anyone know where I canbuy it?

  39. P.... B....

    hi Brandy I love you when you perform in Miami last year

  40. L.... K....

    Hi really like this song it is addicting 😋😋😋😋

  41. A.... S....

    I grew up a few minutes from where Brandy is from! So love you girl!!

  42. M.... D....

    I like because a group from nemcc called campus country. They came and sang at my school.

  43. G.... M....

    I like this song, and I gotta admit, when I first heard this on the radio I thought this was Reba lol
    she has a uncanny sound to her and it's damn impressive.

  44. Q.... F....

    I don't understand why she is not given her due credit. brilliant song writer and equally good singer. It my dream to meet her and write a song with her

    Q.... F....

    Quentin Fernandez it’s because she’s a lesbian, unfortunately. She came out and didn’t give a shit but the music industry wasn’t where it is now. Everyone is more accepting now, but not back then. I agree; she’s one of my favorites!

    Q.... F....

    Same thing happened to Chely Wright. It’s really sad that their careers can be ruined just because they love someone

  45. N.... W....

    Brandy Clark is a great singer. I honestly can't understand why she isn't more popular...women do have a hard time in country music though. There are big names in music (Ex: Carrie, Miranda) but the less popular female singers go unnoticed. It's really a shame that music as good as this isn't a big hit. With all that said, this song definitely great! Wish it was more popular!

  46. A.... A....

    This song is definitely a treat. It's nice to see someone write a song that truly empowers women without putting down a certain group of women.

    A.... A....

    Aldair Alarcon I mean... It does. It puts down the damsel in distress lol

    A.... A....

    virgin mary metaphor lol

  47. S.... M....

    And I thought the video for bye bye bye was freaky .

  48. A.... S....

    Brandy Clark sound Like a new version of Trisha Yearwood

  49. J.... S....

    I am the "Girl Next Door", but I still love this song and at times I wish I could be a little less the "Girl Next Door". I have just never been brave enough. LOL

  50. B.... S....

    love it!!!

  51. c.... c....

    omg I love this song

    c.... c....

    Right? Me too!

  52. B.... B....

    This song was a big hit...why only 400 k views though?

    B.... B....

    yea it was

  53. B.... R....

    Today's country is shit early 2000s country was the best but now we got some ugly bitch singing crap

  54. D.... m....

    i never heard of this song before but i heard it in sixflags tv while waiting in line....

  55. P.... G....

    ex s cookie cutter whore sarah russian import!

  56. J.... O....

    i first heard this song on United Airlines 747-400 channel 5 on my flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong. I loved it and just bought it on itunes.

  57. a.... s....

    i l u brandy

  58. b.... m....

    As the Donald would say- a "great" song by the very talented Brandy!

  59. J.... K....

    When u took me home, u knew who u were taking!...

  60. L.... C....

    What a beautiful voice ....

  61. M.... B....

    I love this song!

  62. J.... K....

    I play this for my girlfriend

  63. Y.... ....

    I listen to this a lot but the alarm sounds drives me crazy like right at the beginning for instance

    Y.... ....

    You must be hearing things

  64. a.... f....

    HELLA UNDERRATED SONG

  65. G.... H....

    Wonderful song from a wonderful singer.

  66. t.... d....

    I love this song!!!!!

  67. S.... W....

    This song, this girl is a winner. Thanks Bill Poindexter for the heads up.

  68. S.... T....

    Love this!!! Perfect lyrics and music, awesome singing, great video. Back in the day this could have been my theme song. ;) I like writing song lyrics but never in a billion years could I come up with something this awesome. And I'd just about kill to be able to sing that well!!! Hell, at this point I'll be happy just to get past the 'sore fingertip stage' of learning to play an acoustic guitar. Tip to musician wannabes: Don't wait 'til you're 63 to begin learning to play, do it while you're young and tough. lol

  69. A.... t....

    I love love love love love this song its cool

  70. J.... O....

    Love the song

  71. B.... K....

    I LOVE THIS!!!!And HELL YEAH she's gorgeous!!

  72. 2.... R....

    You preached it girl! Damn I love this song. There is nothing more sexy than a strong, confident woman.

    2.... R....

    Of course, don't ever call me "son".

    2.... R....

    Whatever you say, son.

  73. K.... Z....

    love love love love love love love love love the song

  74. A.... M....

    I love this song it's not even funny

  75. j.... F....

    this will go up the charts, awesome song. If Underwood would have sung it it would be top 5. Brandy doesn't have the name yet keep putting out songs like this and people will know her. Love this song.

    j.... F....

    joe Fal it would have been way up if Carrie sung it... but she's Linda the girl Brandi is talking about Lol. wouldn't make a lot of sense for Carrie to sing it. Brandi kills it tho!

  76. R.... ....

    Can someone explain to me why Brandy seems to refuse acknowledge that's she's a lesbian in her songs and videos? Why is there a heterosexual relationship in this video? I know being gay in country music is tough, but fuck it! Be innovative like Kacey Musgraves!

  77. C.... H....

    In love with this song soo much!

  78. O.... ....

    She's my cousin! I'm so excited!

  79. N.... L....

    you knew my friend mom Leona Justus

  80. O.... L....

    I feel like there is an issue labeling women as either "this" or "that." You can share the sentiment that a fickle man is not going to be in your life without referring to another woman as boring. Women should hold eachother up.

    O.... L....

    Meh, it still disses other women. Not necessary. We need to stop doing that...

    O.... L....

    I agree.

  81. J.... K....

    MY BROTHER LOVES THIS SONG

  82. L.... ....

    God her music keeps getting better! Love it!

  83. K.... M....

    Brandy I'm so excited to see a new video! Awesome song!!!

  84. L.... L....

    this is so county rocking. turned up full.

  85. S.... M....

    This song is so catchy can't stop singing it I love it

  86. C.... I....

    We are cut from the same cloth

  87. D.... B....

    Not a fan of the "country rock" beat here but the lyrics aren't bad.

    D.... B....

    You're right. They're terrible! Shame cos it's a great song otherwise

  88. d.... ....

    Here's a great big "Thank you" to Salon for introducing me to Brandy Clark. Since reading their feature of her earlier today, I've looked up Clark's lyrics online and hit YouTube to find out things for myself. I now have yet another amazing songwriter to admire and insipre me to be a better songwriter. And yes, another YouTube channel subscription. Damn, this is a great song.

  89. F.... S....

    I love this song - Might even send it to my boyfriend so he gets the jist that im not gonna put up with him playing around with the girl next door while we're together... One time is enough for him.

    F.... S....

    wtf lmao

    F.... S....

    Flower Storm Flower Storm 1 time?geez that's enough. I obviously don't know you but he doesn't deserve you, no one deserves to be cheated on.

    F.... S....

    Flower Storm your to good for his cheating sorry ass dump him and find your self a real man who will never break your heart or hurt you in anyway shape or form I know because I have been there myself it's hard but your worth so much more

  90. M.... L....

    I love this song

  91. n.... ....

    absolutely love her, great songwriter .. awesome hearing this on Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40, finally her breakthrough as an artist.

  92. E.... M....

    This is awesome!

  93. m.... ....

    feminist crap.

    m.... ....

    This is not feminist

  94. B.... B....

    I was completely unfamiliar with Brandy Clark till I heard them play this song on the radio today. I think I just became her biggest fan. This song kicks ass. She is one hell of a singer. And she's hot as hell too. OH! Did I mention she's hot? Lmao.

  95. s.... B....

    I love this song with all my heart and soul

  96. D.... K....

    She reminds me of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. Great voice

  97. S.... ....

    I connect with this song and video in an odd way.😕 Thank you, Brandy, for sharing your music!💞

  98. B.... A....

    love it! shame it aint as big as "i am high on loving youuuuuu". also dang brandy has a beautiful face!

    B.... A....

    Batool Abbasi country radio doesn't play country music anymore. They play shallow pop-rap songs (sung by a southern accent) that illustrate the same, redundant topics we hear on pop radio; sex, alcohol, the occasional dirt road to make it sound authentic.

    B.... A....

    @Batool Abbasi
    No hate but, you mean H.O.L.Y? It kinda offends me you don't know the actual name of the song.

  99. C.... N....

    Washington State local blowing up. love this song!!
