You Belong With Me

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset

She's goin' 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 listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like

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

Dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find

That what you're lookin' 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

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out jeans

I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be

Laughin' on a park bench thinkin' 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 you doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find

That what you're lookin' 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?

Standin' by and waitin' at your backdoor

All this time, how could you not know

Baby, you belong with me?

You belong with me

Oh, I remember you drivin' 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?

Standin' by and waitin' at your backdoor

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
