You're on the phone
with your girlfriend
She's upset
She's goin' off about
somethin' that you said
She doesn't get your humor
like I do
I'm in the 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
But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 'bout the day
when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin' 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
in your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinkin'
This is how it ought to be
Laughin' on a 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 a while
since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what cha doin'
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
when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin' 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 and
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 favorite songs
And you tell me
about 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
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
You belong with me
Have you ever thought
just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
