Yo u're on the phone with your girlfriend,
she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I' m in the 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
Sh e's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
when you w ake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here
the whole time
If you could s ee that I'm the one
who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with m e, you belong with m e
Wa lkin' 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 mys elf
Hey isn't this easy
And y ou'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
He y whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
Sh es cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
wh en you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
has been here the whole time
If you could s ee that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with m e
St anding by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with m e, you belong with me
Oh I remember you drivin' to my house
In the m iddle of the night
I'm the o ne who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you t ell me about your dreams
Think I k now where you belong
Think I know it's with me
Can't you s ee that
I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with m e
St anding by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with m e, you belong with m e
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with m e, you belong with m e
