Im on the phone with my girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that I said She doesn't get my humor like you do Your in your room, it's a typical Tuesday night Your listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know my story like you do But she wears short skirts, You wear t-shirts She's cheer captain, and Your on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when I wake up and find That what Im lookin for has been here the whole time I should see that Your the one who understands me You've Been here all along so why can't I see? You belong with me, You belong with me [Instrumental Walkin the streets with you and your all worn out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself Hey isn't this easy? And you've got that smile that could light up this whole town I haven't seen it in awhile, since she brought you down You say you fine I know you better than that Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, You wear sneakers She's cheer captain and Your on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when I wake up and find That what Im looking for has been here the whole time I should see that Your the one who understands me You've Been here all along so why can't I see? You belong with me [Hook] Standin by, Your waiting at my back door All this time how could I not know babe? You belong with me, You belong with me Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night You're the one who makes me laugh when I know I'm about to cry You know my favorite songs and I tell me about my dreams I think you know where I belong. I think you know it's with me. I should see that your the one who understands m You've been here all along so why can't I see? You belong with me Standing by, I'm 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
