You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
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 music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirt
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' bout the day that when you'll wake up and find
That what your 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 street with you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be
Laughin' on the 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 awhile, since she brought you down
You say you fine, I know you better than that
Hey, watcha doing with a girl like that?


She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' bout the day that when you'll wake up and find
That what your 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

Standin' by, waitin' 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
I know your favourite 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

Standin' by and waitin' at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you thought just maybe?
You belong with me
You belong with me
