You’re one 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 listenin’ to the kinda 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
Dreamin’ ’bout the 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 street 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
Whatchu 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 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 here, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me, you belong with me
Ohh, 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
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 the i’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see?
You belong with me.
Standin’ by here, 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.
