You Belong To Me Lyrics


Lately I've been feeling a little uneasy
So I run straight home to you
It's been cold as hell and you just can't tell
What a girl might doI made a whole lot of promises baby
But none of my dreams came true
And it's you that paid
And I'm so afraid that I'm losing youBut you belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Me, baby, meNow your mama said
You could do better than me
Baby I know that's true
But you believed me instead
Every word I said, and I did tooBut every day's a little bit harder
Out there no matter what I do
Well I could carry the world on my shoulders girl
Long as I got youBut you belong to me
You belong to me

You belong to me
Me, baby, meYou belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Me, baby, meWell my shining armour is rusted and worn
There's a heart inside here
Entrusted and sworn to you
Just tell me baby what I need to do
I can win you over again if you want me toBut you belong to me
You belong to me
Me, baby, meWell my shining armour is rusted and worn
There's a heart inside here
Entrusted and sworn to you
Just tell me baby what I need to do
I can win you over again if you want me toBut you belong to me
You belong to me
Me, baby, meYou belong to me
Me, baby, me

Steve Earle (born Stephen Fain Earle on January 17, 1955, in San Antonio, Texas) is a singer-songwriter best known for his country music and rock 'n roll tinged "alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Earle also had small roles on the HBO television shows "The Wire" and "Treme". His sister Stacey Earle is also an acclaimed singer-songwriter, as is his most recent wife, Allison Moorer, whom he wed in 2005. His first son from an earlier marriage is the singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, named for Earle's hero Townes Van Zandt.

In 1975, at the age of 20, Earle moved to Nashville and began working as a songwriter. In these early days, he recorded with Guy Clark and Emmylou Harris. He finally scored a country hit in 1981, writing Johnny Lee's top ten cut "When You Fall In Love." Earle's early work as a performer tended towards the rockabilly sound, popular at the time. In 1986, his first proper album Guitar Town was a critical and commercial success. It sold over 300,000 copies and led some to herald him as a saviour of country music.

Earle long struggled with drug abuse. His addiction eventually caused a departure from performing and recording after he was dropped by MCA in 1991. Whilst in jail on drug and firearm charges, he kicked the habit and returned to music after his release in 1994.

Earle's "second, post-jail, musical career" has been more stylistically diverse than his early material, dipping in acoustic, bluegrass, and roots rock sounds. I Feel Alright and Transcendental Blues met with good reviews and decent sales. 2002's somewhat controversial Jerusalem was one of the first albums to directly address the September 11 attacks. It brought Earle's leftist views to media attention, especially the song "John Walker's Blues."

His sister Stacey Earle is also an acclaimed singer-songwriter, as is his most recent wife, Allison Moorer, whom he wed in 2005.

His latest album of original material I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive was released in 2011. Songfacts reports that one of the tracks, This City, got played on HBO’s New Orleans based show Treme several months before the album‘s release. Earle, who plays a recurring street musician, composed the song especially for the drama series.

Earle has also released a tribute album of material written by friend and mentor Townes Van Zandt, entitled Townes.
