You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
shes upset,
shes going off about something that you said,
she doesn't get your humor like i do.
I'm in the room its a typical Tuesday night,
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like,
and 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 'bout the day
when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time

[Chorus]
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 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 can light up this whole town,
i haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down,
you say you're fine,
i know you better than that,
hey what you doing with a girl like that?

She wear's high heels,
i wear sneakers,
she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,
dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time

[Chorus]
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,
waiting at your back door,
all this time how could you not know baby,
you belong with me.
you belong with me.

Oh, remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night,
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry,
i know you're favourite songs
and you tell me 'bout you're dreams
think i know where you belong,
think i know it's with me.

[Chorus]
Can't you 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,
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
