You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset He's going off about something that you said He doesn't get your humor like I do I'm at a bar, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music no body likes And he'll never know your story like I do But he wears Izods, I wear t-shirts He's team captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you'll wake up and find That what you're lookin' for was 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 cut off jeans I can't help thinkin this is how it ought to be Laughing on the park bench thinkin 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 he brought you down You say you find I know you better than that Hey, Whatcha doing with a guy like that? He wears high heels, I wear sneakers
He's team 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, just 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 driving to your 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. If you could 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 just 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 You belong with me
