Lyrics: You Belong With Me

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 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 tee-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

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

Walk in 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, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high-heels, i wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and i'm on the bleachers,
Dreamin' 'bout 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 you, waitin' 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 drivin' 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 your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think i know where you belong,
Think i know it's with me

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

Standin' by you, waitin' at your back door,
All this time how could you now 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
