You're on the phone
With your girlfriend,
She's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
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 bout the day
When you'll 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
You belong with me
Walking the streets with
You in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how
It ought to be
Laughing on the 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 awhile,
Since she brought you down
You say you fine
I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing
With a girl like that?
She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day
When you'll 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, waiting at
Your back door
All this time how could
You not know that?
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 about to cry
I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong
I think I know it's 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 or waiting at
Your back door
All this time how could
You not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
