She's an underdog
Lives next door to me
She's always heard you won't amount to anything
And it kills me to watch the agony beyond her eyes
Tragic the way people pass her by
But now I realize

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow

She hates it
But she takes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

She's original
Never trying to fit in
She's got a way to always go
Against the grain

Oh yeah!
Someday they'll see how beautiful she really is
I know that last will be the first
The tables gonna turn cause?

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow

She hates it
But she fakes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

Maybe she'll be in a movie
Maybe she'll be in a song
Better pay her some attention
Before she's gone

She's an underdog
Yea
She means the world to me
Yea

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow

She hates it
But she makes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow

She hates it
But she makes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

    General Comment:This song is actually about Mandy. I only know this because I found her myspace in 2006 from when the Jonas Brothers used to have top friends and she was the first in their top. I would message her about the kids that would bully me and would basically ask her for advice and she told me that they actually wrote Underdog about her. Otherwise I literally had no idea.

    General Comment:This song is actually about a girl who once lived next door from JB's previous home. In an interview or smthn', they told about this, saying that they had a neighbor who's always underestimated. They felt sorry for the treatments the other gave to her. And this girl became the inspiration of this song.

    General Comment:I posted a comment on thier myspace a couple years ago and it was about hoe boys don't like me at school and how I'm made fun of by other people so I'm starting to think that they saw it and decided to sing this song at their concert. lol

    OK this probably sounds kinda sad.

    General Comment:I always say this song is my theme song.
    it's about a girl who is always put down and not really noticed, but someday she will shine and make a difference in the world.
