Is Taylor Swift's "you belong with me" a rip off of Saving Jane's "girl next door"?

[starryeyedbabe]

girl next door by saving jane, came out in 2005: link

chorus goes: 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

you belong with me by taylor swift, came out in 2009: link

chorus goes: But she wears short skirts

I wear t-shirts

She's cheer captain

And I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.

Well she doesn't exactly have the most original songs.. one of her other songs is also really similar to One Republic's "Apologize", uses the same terms. I don't know which song came first though. But pop music does have a lot of the same topics anyway, so it gets repetitive.

I actually thought that whenever I heard that song the first time.

Personally, I think taylr swift is amazing but it is possible... her songs aren't all that original

... it's not as if these particular images haven't been used a trillion times in pop music.
