Lyrics:
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'll 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'll 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 understand 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
