You're on the phone with your girlfriend, shes upset

Shes 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 what you're looking 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 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 you're fine, I know you better then that

Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers

Shes 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 could 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 '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

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
