| 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, 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 |
| She’s cheer captain, and I’m on the bleachers |
| Dreaming about 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 and your all worn out jeans, |
| I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself |
| Hey isn’t this easy? |
| And you’ve got that 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, Whatcha doing with a girl like that? |
| She wears high heels, I wear sneakers |
| She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers |
| Dreaming about 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 Standin by, I’m waiting 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 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 understands you? |
| Been here all along so why can’t you see? |
| You belong with me Standing by, I’m waiting 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 |
