The lyrics
youre on the phone with your girlfriend
shes upset, shes going off about something that you said
cause 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

PRE-CHORUS
but shE wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
shes cheer captain and im on the bleacherS
dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
that what youre looking for has Been here the whole time

CHORUS
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

walk in the streets with you In your worN out jeans
i cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
laughing on a park bench thinking 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 youre fine i know yOu better than that
heY what yOu doing with a girl like that?

PRE-CHORUS
she wears high heels, i wear sneakers
shes cheer captain and im on the bleachers
dreaming aboUt the day when you wake up and find
that what youre looking for has been here the whole time

CHORUS
if you could see that im the one who understands you
been here all along so why cant 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
im the one who makes you laugh when you know youre about To cry
and i know your favourite Songs and you tEll mE about your dreams
i think i know where you belong, i think i know its with ME

CHORUS
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 waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby
you belong with me
have you ever thought just maybe
you belong with me
you belong with me
