YouâÂÂre on the phone with your girlfriend, sheâÂÂs upset sheâÂÂs going off about something that you said, cuz she doesnâÂÂt get your humour like I do, IâÂÂm in my room itâÂÂs a typical Tuesday night , listening to the kind of music she doesnâÂÂt like , and sheâÂÂll never know your story like I do, she wears short skirts I wear t-shirts, sheâÂÂs cheer captain and IâÂÂm on the bleachers, dreaming âÂÂbout the day when youâÂÂll wake up and find that what youâÂÂre looking for, has been here the whole time
if you could see that IâÂÂm the one who understands you, been here all along so why canâÂÂt you see you belong with me, you belong with me
walkinâ in the streets with you and your worn-out jeans, I canâÂÂt help thinking this is how it ought to be, laughing on a park bench thinking to myself, hey isnâÂÂt this easy?, youâÂÂve got a smile that could light up this whole town, I havenâÂÂt seen it in a while since she brought you down, you say youâÂÂre fine I know you better than that, hey what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers, sheâÂÂs cheer captain and IâÂÂm on the bleachers, dreaming âÂÂbout the day when youâÂÂll wake up and find that what your looking for has been here the whole time
if you could see that IâÂÂm the one who understands you, been here all along so why canâÂÂt you see, you belong with me, standing by 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, IâÂÂm the one who makes you laugh when you know youâÂÂre âÂÂbout to cry, I know your favourite songs and you tell me âÂÂbout youâÂÂre dreams, think I know where you belong, think I know itâÂÂs with me
canâÂÂt you see that IâÂÂm the one who understands you, been here all along so why canâÂÂt 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, have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me,you belong with me
