you'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
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
walk in the streets with
you in 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 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 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 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 bout to cry
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 backdoor
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
