You're on the phone with your girlfriend
She's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt 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 doesnt 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 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
in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy
And you've got a smile that
could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile since
she brought you down
You say you find 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 bout 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
Standin 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 understands 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
