You're on the phone with your boyfriend
He's upset, he's going off about
Something that you said
He doesn't get your humor
Like I do
I'm in my room
It's a typical tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
He doesn't like
He'll never know your story
Like I do
But he wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
He'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
Walking 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 awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey what are you doing with a guy like that
He wears high heels
I wear sneakers
He's cheer captain
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 backdoor
All this time
How could you not know baby
You, you belong with me
You, 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
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
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 backdoor
All this time
How could you not know baby
You, you belong with me
You, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought
Just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
