You Belong With Me

You're on the phone with your girls and 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

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 in your worn out jeans

I can have 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 a while since she brought you down

You say you're fine I know you better than that

What you doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels I wear sneakers

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers

Dreaming about the things and 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're waiting 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 about your dreams

Think I know where you belong

I 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 or waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know baby

You belong with me

Oh you belong with me

You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me

You belong with me
