You're on 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 my 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 about the day
when you wake up
And find that
what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
If you can 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 thinking this is
how it ought to be
Laughing on a 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 a while
since she brought you down
You say your fine
I know you better then that
Hey what you doing
with a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
when you wake up
And find that what
what you're looking for has been
here the whole time
If you can 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
and waiting at your back door
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 about to cry
And 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 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
Standing by and 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
