Did Taylor Swift steal from Saving Jane?

While playing The Sims 2 the other night I was making a custom station. Going through all the songs I noticed some had artist names next to them. So I thought I'd check out the engligh lyrics for "Girl next Door" by Saving Jane, since I'd only heard it in simlish.

Once I found them I noticed they sound very similar to "You belong with Me" by Taylor Swift.

When I showed my boyfried this he just said (something along the lines of) "The subject matter of the song is very popular/cliché for a teenage girl."

I decided to look up the song on youtube so I could actually hear it in english, and it seems people thought the same as me, for a lot of the comments mentioned the similarities to "You belong with me".

I also did a google search "taylor swift copies saving jane" and a few things came up, mainly people asking questions about it on Yahoo answers. Also another person blogged about it which you can view here.

I'll show you some of the lyrics to both of the songs.

Saving Jane, Girl Next Door.

"She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands"

Taylor Swift, You Belong with Me.

"But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers"

So, I'm not saving Taylor did STEAL the lyrics, but they are awfully similar. If I was the one who wrote "Girl Next Door" and heard the lyrics for "You belong with me" I sure wouldn't be happy with how similar it was to my song.

But like my boyfriend said, it is a very typical teenage girl clichéd thing isn't it?

Also, Taylor has a song called "I'd Lie" And the chorus tune is the same as the chorus in "Girl Next Door"!

Here's Saving Jane's "Girl next Door".

Here's "I'd Lie"

Has Taylor stolen from a lesser known band? Or do you think it's just a coincidence?

I'm starting to think it's too much of a coincidence...
