| You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset.
 | 
| She’s going off about something that you said
 | 
| 'Cuz 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
 | 
| She’s cheer captain
 | 
| And I’m on the bleachers
 | 
| Dreaming about the day when you 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
 | 
| Walkin' 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 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 then 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 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 and waiting at your back door
 | 
| all this time how could you not know
 | 
| Baby…
 | 
| You belong with me
 | 
| You belong with me
 | 
| 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
 | 
| And 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
 | 
| Standing by and 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… |
