Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why'd you tell me this? While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know? Don't you know I'll always be the one?
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
You belong to me in this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool could see who you need
I know you all too well
[Verse 2]
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
Tell him you belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me, oh girl, you belong to me
Tell him he's a stranger, you belong to me
You belong to me
[Verse 3]
Tell him you belong to me
That you belong to me, you belong to me
Girl, girl
You belong to me, tell him he's a stranger
You belong to me
Tell that you were foolin', you belong to me
Yeah, you belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me, you belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin'
You belong to me
