Youre on the phone
with your girlfriend, Shes upset
Shes going off about
something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do

Im in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
Im listening to the kind of music she doesnt like
And shell never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
Shes cheer captain and Im on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what youre lookin for
has been here the whole time

If you could see that Im the one
who understands you
Been here all along so why cant 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 youve 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
Shes cheer captain and Im on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what youre looking for
has been here the whole time

If you could see that Im the one
who understands you
Been here all along so why cant 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
Im the one who makes you laugh
when you know youre 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 its with me.

Cant you see that Im the one
who understands you?
Been here all along so why cant 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
