Girl Next Door Lyrics

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 an' 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 an' 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
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,
An' 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)

To fade

Julie Roberts (born February 1, 1979, in Lancaster, South Carolina) is an American country music singer. She is best known for her 2004 break-through hit, "Break Down Here" and her 2006 remake of Saving Jane's "Girl Next Door".

Roberts began performing country music as a child. When she was in junior high and high school, she toured with her family, playing at festivals in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. She also performed at area nursing homes (where she developed an appreciation for blues music); and worked at Carowinds (a theme park in Charlotte, North Carolina) and Dollywood.

A graduate of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, Roberts began working for Mercury Records, later becoming assistant to label head Luke Lewis. During her tenure there, she began perfecting her singing skills and recorded a demo tape. Producer Brent Rowan liked what he heard and invited Lewis to hear the tape. Lewis liked what he heard, but it was only after he asked for the singer's identity that he learned it was Roberts.

Roberts was signed to Mercury Records, and her self-titled album was released in 2004.

A second album for Mercury, Men & Mascara, followed in 2006. This album produced two non-charting singles in its title track and a cover of Saving Jane's "Girl Next Door".

Her influences include Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell and Tanya Tucker.
