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 humour like I do
I'm in the room, its 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
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when
you'll wake up and find
That what you're 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
Walking the streets with you in your
worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it
ought to be
Laughing on a park bench thinking
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 your fine I know you better than that
Hey, What you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when
you'll wake up and find
That what you're 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
Standing by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me
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 about to cry
I know your favorite 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
understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
She doesn't get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, its 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
