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 doI'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 doBut 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 timeIf 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 meWalkin' 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 thatShe 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 timeIf you could see that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you
See you belong with meStandin' by and waitin' at your backdoor
All this time, how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me
You belong with meOh, 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 cryAnd I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with meCan'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 meYou belong with me
Have you ever thought
Just maybe you belong with me
You belong with me
