Saving Jane - Girl Next Door Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
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 wanna hit her

[Chorus]

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

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America and... she's Miss America
I'm just the girl next door...

Saving Jane Girl Next Door Comments
  1. W.... M....

    Finally...

  2. P.... M....

    Some of those lines were epic long before Taylor Swift ripped them off.

  3. S.... l....

    This song hits home

  4. H.... E....

    2019 I'm still here I am the girl next door he's hot but his ex controls him he lets her 😭 I love him

    H.... E....

    Then fight for him till the end..fight for your love if it's really true..you go girl!!💪🏻

  5. N.... N....

    I first heard of this song today through my grandad's radio

  6. �.... ....

    我就知道油管上有一堆人尬洗...这首歌比泰勒同名专辑早半年发布,也比ybwm早两年。有没有抄袭粉丝心里有逼数,不可能两首歌都刚好撞了吧??

  7. C.... S....

    Who's here from Sims 2?

  8. i.... ....

    Simple life reminded me of this song

  9. A.... J....

    Yo The Sims Pets 2.

  10. N.... L....

    I love this song so much!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

  11. S.... T....

    Marinette and chloe from miraculous anyone??

  12. M.... W....

    2019 I’m still the girl next door

  13. E.... W....

    Good job

  14. b.... ....

    The girl in this song sounds like she is having her first gay crush on this seemly perfect girl.

  15. d.... ....

    2019 anyone? ❤

  16. R.... G....

    *Sonamy vs Sonally flashbacks*

  17. k.... ....

    Sims 2 brought me here

  18. B.... W....

    Homecoming 2018. Couldn’t have picked a more accurate song.

  19. 1.... ....

    Haven't heard this song in YEARS. Used to listen to it all the time in high school.

  20. L.... R....

    You Belong With Me and I'd Lie are different from this song.

    I'd Lie the beat is more pop than country and none of the lyrics are similar.

    You Belong With Me is comparing things to a girl you hate, yes. But the reason behind the hate is she's dating your crush.

    Girl Next Door describes general hate towards a girl who seems to have a better life than you because she always has better.

  21. A.... ....

    The chorus sounds like Taylor Swift's << I'd Lie>>

  22. A.... ....

    THE SIMS !!!!! ❤❤❤

  23. A.... ....

    Summer 2009 this was my jam

  24. N.... L....

    The one thing I love most about this song is that the singer never says anything bad about the popular girl. She recognizes that the popular girl is just that-- popular. Prom Queen is not snobby, doesn't bully the Girl Next Door or is necessarily even mean.


    GND realizes that she's just being bitter and envious, so she comes by hating Prom Queen rather than having to come into terms with her own mediocrity.


    It's so much better than You Belong to Me because of the self awareness.

    N.... L....

    She literally said in the first verse that she hated her. Stop trying to pit successful women against each other.

    N.... L....

    yfroggy13 Yeah but you can hate somebody and it’s 100% about you, not them. She even says “I TELL MYSELF that inside she’s ugly” showing she’s just jealous. The song writer could have made it something like “ but I KNOW that inside she’s ugly” or something.

  25. F.... ....

    This is how every goth girl feels about the "prep" girls. They are just bitter they aren't popular and just pretend they don't want to be popular anyway. #prepsruleandgothsdrool

  26. s.... h....

    Am I the only one who think T Swift stole like the whole chorus?

  27. O.... H....

    Lol my bf wanted to date her. Actually he still is.

  28. C.... H....

    love it

  29. M.... ....

    2018 Who's here?

    M.... ....

    MerakideeTV meeeeee!!!!!!

  30. B.... R....

    finally! the good version, thanks for uploading

  31. O.... K....

    This song was made for Betty Cooper

    like if you agree

  32. C.... P....

    This is the song of my high school years. Payback is a bitch - I'm more successful than any popular girl who went to my school.

  33. H.... K....

    who came here because they found this song on a kingdom hearts MV???

  34. E.... W....

    i think she perfect like this songis

  35. A.... M....

    Girls are such babies.

  36. A.... R....

    Taylor Swift really did copy this song she did not write You Belong With Me by herself she took ideas off from this song it's obvious

  37. J.... W....

    I love and miss this song!!

  38. M.... B....

    Can anybody just not try and claim someone copied someone else and just appreciate the song itself. Nobody ever comments how much they love certain parts of the song anymore, it seems like everyone makes theories and everything than actually appreciating the song itself. Like the bass guitar in the beginning, or how good of a singer she really is. Appreciate music for its worth and not start theorizing and criticizing

  39. S.... R....

    One of my all time favorite songs ever!

  40. M.... F....

    totally a me\girl song!

  41. A.... C....

    this is very closeted gay and rlly you can't convince me otherwise

    A.... C....

    I think so too!

    A.... C....

    No, this comment is stupid

    A.... C....

    Yesssssss. I'm dying to make that comic/animatic

  42. r.... p....

    i get that people like this song, but please don't compare yourselves to others!!
    especially if it's for someone else! all these comments are kind self-hating and i just wanted to say something..

  43. i.... c....

    i compare myself to her and I lose everytime

  44. e.... ....

    i remember listening to this like 5 years ago omg

    e.... ....

    elihasnolife Same!But more like 10 years actually. Totally forgot about it until the word debutant brought it to mind.

  45. M.... D....

    Seriously. I know the comments are filled with comments like "story of my life", but I feel like that too. A girl I know.... she's like me but better in every way. I'm pretty, she's gorgeous. I'm not fat but she's leaner. I can sing and do yoga, and she's better at both. I get As and Bs but she's all As. And she's not even mean like you'd expect, looking like a queen bee and all. And to top it off, she's my friend. I feel like she pitied me and that's why she even spoke to me. Maybe I dislike competition, but everyone agrees that's she's far superior to me and although I try, I can't compete.

    I'm too old to care about this crap. I'm ok, great even, and I should take comfort in that and her kindness to me. But it's hard to be OK with being good when she's damn perfect, you know?

    /First world problems.

  46. J.... N....

    Omg, Taylor Swift is so unoriginal . She was just lucky she comes from a family of bankers that know how to market her. Let's not forget that "shake it off" copies "girlfriend" Avril Lavigne

    J.... N....

    Joe Nilly shake it off doesn't copy girlfriend

    J.... N....

    Joe Nilly why are you against her? she probably doesnt know any of these songs! just because they sound alike doesnt make it copying! and every song is different!

    J.... N....

    and "girlfriend" copies "get off of my cloud" by the rolling stones sooo..... lol

    there is no such thing as originality

    J.... N....

    You know that songs use other songs' music and sometimes lyrics. Also, her father's only a descendant of three bank presidents. It doesn't mean anything other than you have a lot of time on your hands. Not to mention that this song didn't even belong to Taylor Swift, so why not keep it to yourself until you actually learn about the celebrity's history.

  47. K.... T....

    some of the lyrics remind me of Taylor Swift's 'You belong with me' and the chorus sounds a lot like Taylor's other song 'I'd lie'

    K.... T....

    you mean Taylor's song resembles this one.

    K.... T....

    This song was released before both of those songs

    K.... T....

    +j4jennyful this song came out in 2005 Taylor Swift was like 13 and barely thinking about boys yet.

    K.... T....

    @Leili Rayn honey, she was famous in 05

    K.... T....

    +سافانا بورسيه true she was famous but not singing half as many love songs as she does now

  48. C.... R....

    I love her so much and I love this song

  49. S.... 9....

  61. M.... F....

    Back when songs were actually relatable and meant something.

    M.... F....

    @Mandy From Mars As if we don't have such songs nowadays...

    M.... F....

    congrats you've won the dumbest comment ever

  62. C.... C....

    guys taylor was 16 when she wrote I'd Lie and it never even got released so no one has really heard it.  As for YBWM, they're just words calm down.

  63. g.... b....

    I think the chorus of I'd lie , Taylor Swift sounds like the Chorus of this

    g.... b....

    Because it does.

    g.... b....

    you're right!!!!! taylor knows nothing other than copying.....her shake it off, you belong with me, and wildest dreams are all copied.....she again has no good live voice.....she lip syncs......

    g.... b....

    Bidisha Mukherjee that "lipsync" is the biggest lie i've heard today.

    g.... b....

    Bidisha Mukherjee have you ever heard her live? She sometimes messes up snd sings the wrong lyrics. Or somthing can get her breath knocked out of her and it is quite audible. But youre right. She doesnt sing live. (Sarcasam for anyone who cant tell)

    g.... b....

    Bidisha Mukherjee you're so stupid lmfao

  64. F.... ....

    This is out to two girls in particular, one being perfect for the other and missing one a fuckton

  65. k.... g....

    This speaks to me on a spiritual level.

  66. c.... ....

    I really don't think You Belong with Me copied this song...I think people are misinterpreting /this/ song if they think that's the case.
    Taylor Swift's song is about liking a boy who is with another, more popular girl, who doesn't appreciate him.
    This song is different, it focuses on general envy of a girl, not because she's with a boy you like, but because she's just in general more popular, and seems to be perfect. The only line in this one that mentions a boy is "Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her."
    Like I said, Taylor Swift's song is about a crush, this song is about being jealous of someone else for having what you want. I personally like both songs, but I just think it's unfair to compare them when they don't have much in common aside from talking about a girl who's a cheerleader while you're sitting in the stands.

    c.... ....

    chesiregirl true

    c.... ....

    Agree and it’s not just because I’m a fan, I would agree for any artist

    c.... ....

    anyone this song was made before the taylor song

    c.... ....

    The way you worded this I feel like I would want to be friends with you in real life. You seem very down to Earth and we don't get a lot of than nowadays.

  67. j.... ....

    This guy that I'm hopelessly in love with lives down the street from me , but it's so obvious he likes a girl we both work with and she is so beautiful and sweet and smart and all these things I'm not

  68. J.... W....

    I love the song but.I am the girl next door in real life.The "prom queen" in my life would be a girl named Taryn.We are friends but I still want to hit her a lot.I THINK SHES A GOLD DIGGER SOMETIMES!

  69. K.... R....

    The original (and better) you belong with me

    K.... R....

    Taylor wasn't the original m

    K.... R....

    That's what I said. I said she copied this song which is better than you belong with me

    K.... R....

    Taylor Swift so ripped this song off.

    K.... R....

    The songs are totally different

  70. C.... H....

    love it eva  said ha ha good job

  71. N.... B....

    I had this song put in my yearbook. They asked what song reminds u the most of high school... this was the winner

  72. s.... ....

    it's really just that part about 'she's a cheerleader, I'm in the marching band'...and the whole girl next door bit.  I think Taylor and Saving Jane's songs are different when I compare them but when I was younger and YBWM was first popular I was very annoyed because I've always really loved this song, which I think is part of the reason I thought it was a rip off...easy to get defensive over something you love :)

  73. a.... ....

    Everyone know Taylor Swift stole the concept of this song, kinda rewrote it in her own words. Between both this song and taylor's this one is the best js. not hating on tayor.

    a.... ....

    oh yeah because being somewhat envious of a beautiful, popular girl is such a new concept lol

  74. R.... B....

    I feel like I will always be the girl next door. It's like the song is written about me.

  75. L.... T....

    i like this song dont hate it but dont love it

  76. .... ....

    Well, my opinion: I love Taylor Swift's music, but this girl is really country.. Taylor is pop.. :(

  77. A.... H....

    This sounds like..I'd lie by taylor swift

  78. I.... M....

    Taylor Swift stole this >.> And this song is better!! 

  79. B.... ....

    MEMORIES AF

  80. d.... m....

    epic song;)

  81. T.... ....

    Sims ! <3

  82. C.... E....

    If you feel the same way

  83. L.... B....

    Taylor Swift totally stole this song, no?

    L.... B....

    No she just exprienced something similar...

    L.... B....

    No, she did. The difference here is that this once original song was a one hit wonder and Taylor Swift is a multi-award winning (for some reason), whiney millionaire; and no one dear question Princess Taylor and her "inspiration" for a song. In a way saying she stole a song is a compliment: now we have something other than dick to blame for her invasion in the pop/country music and being a frigid bitch all the time.

    L.... B....

    You're just negative... There's two diffrent songs, and everone gets inspired from something.. Most of her songs are very original. I think Saiving Jane doesn't mind..

    L.... B....

    Yeah, Taylor totally copied the lyrics for YBWM and put her own country spin on it (like when you copy + paste homework and then change a few words and say you wrote all of it) and the basic musical structure is strangely reminiscent of I'd Lie...

    L.... B....

    Lieutenant Thalia wheres your evidence? seriously this song is bout a girl being jealous of a popular girl, taylor swifts song is about a boy shes in love with but is dating another girl get your facts straight before you comment on the internet

  84. C.... M....

    the exact thing is happening to me serra does do cheerleading I do orchrestra everyone loves her and pactrick loves her now he was my boyfriend. I take karate and I want to kick the hell out of her.

    C.... M....

    I'd use that energie rather to kick your ex's ass to the other end of hell...
    and don't ever forget: there is NOTHING like a perfect person. I don't wear make-up, never had a boyfriend, hate shopping, DO KARATE, PLAY IN AN ORCHESTER (saxophone) and I'm F***ing proud of it!

  85. M.... ....

    Wrong song,hun.

  86. G.... W....

    love this song so much!!!

  87. A.... G....

    makes me wanna cry :'( so old and good i miss these days

  88. R.... G....

    minds too

  89. s.... ....

    Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Taylor Swift seems to like this song quite a bit.

  90. T.... ....

    "Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her."
    Why should she be jealous about another girl when she has a boyfriend already? Unless he's a jerk, it's understandable :P

  91. d.... ....

    yeah that's what i thought when i heard i'd lie too
    weird

  92. M.... S....

    This was before Taylor swift.

  93. S.... M....

    Always original, that TSwift.. or not. :P

  94. R.... T....

    lol i know, i think she copied from this one

  95. S.... M....

    Well, this song came out waaay before Taylor Swift's song, so.

  96. R.... T....

    ha weird, the lyrics is just like of the song "you belong with me" by taylor swift and the chorus beat is just like taylor swift's song id lie..

  97. W.... U....

    Sounds like Taylor Swift's I'd Lie. Eek!

  98. j.... ....

    HAVE you SEEN what happens to Miss Americas? Not really something I'd wanna be if I were a girl. And yeah, major resemblance to that Taylor Swift song, at least lyrically.

  99. D.... M....

    I am the girl next door and the 'IT' girl totally stole my FIRST boyfriend it's sad really cuz he was like a shy loner kind of guy then i date him and she steals him away now he's a total asshole who used to date her but not anymore and is the popular jock :/

  100. s.... ....

    I remember first hearing this song in Anon. The chorus reminds me of Taylor's Swift's "I'd Lie".
