you're on the phone with your boyfriend he's upset he's going off about something that you said 'cause he doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listenin' to the kind of music he doesn't like he'll never know your story like I do
'cause he pops collars I rock Converse he plays football and I wouldn't bother 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
walking the streets with you in your skinny jeans I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be laughin' on a park bench, thinkin' to myself 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 he brought you down you say you're fine, I know you're better than that hey, wha'cha doin' with a boy like that?
'cause he's so popular, I'm just awkward he plays football and I wouldn't bother dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find that what you're lookin' 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 standing by, and waiting out your back door all this time, how could you not know, baby? you belong with me you belong with me
(you're...)
ooh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night I'm the one that makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry and 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 standing by, and waiting out 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
