You Belong With Me lyrics

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 '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

you belong with me

walk in 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 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

standing by you

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

think I know where you belong

think I know it's with me

can't you see that

I'm the one who understand you

been here all along

so why can't you see

you belong with me

standing by you

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
