Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 do
[Verse 2]
I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
[PreChorus]
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin' for has been here the whole time
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Walkin' the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughin' on the park bench thinkin' to myself
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
[Verse 4]
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?
[PreChorus]
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh, I remember you driving 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
