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 my room,
It's a typical Tuesday night,
I'm listenin' 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,
Dreamin' '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.

Walkin' 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 doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain and
I'm on the bleachers,
Dreamin' '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,
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 'bout to cry.
And I know your favorite songs,
And you tell me 'bout 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,
You belong with me.

Standing by,
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.
