You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about
something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I
do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the
kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I
do
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
If you could see
that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you
see? You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Walking the streets
with you and your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought
to be Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself Hey, isn't this
easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town I
haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say you're fine, I
know you better than that Hey, what ya doing with a girl like
that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers 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
If you could see
that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you
see? You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back
door All this time how could you not know? Baby, you belong with me, you
belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of
the night I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to
cry And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams Think
I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm
the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you
see? You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back
door All this time, how could you not know? Baby, you belong with me, you
belong with me
You belong with me Have you ever thought just
maybe You belong with me? You belong with me
