You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset, she's going off about something that she said
Cause she 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 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
Streaming 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 me?
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
Flapping on a park bench thinking to myself, hey isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town, I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
So you're fine, I know you better than that, and what you're doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Streaming 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 me?
You belong with me, you
Standing by and waiting at your back door on this town, 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 don't know what it 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 understands you, been here all along so why can't you see me?
You belong with me, you
Standing by and waiting at your back door on this town, 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
