You're on the phone
With your girlfriend She's upset
She's going off about Something that you said
she doesn't get your humor Like I do
I'm in the room It's a typical Tuesday nightI'm
listening to the kind of music She doesn't like
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
Dreaming about 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.
Walking 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 awhile Since she brought you down
You say you're fineI know you better than that
Hey what you doingWith a girl like that
She wears high heels I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about 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 and Waiting at your backdoor
All this time How could you not know Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.
