You're on the phone with

your girlfriend she's upset

she's going off about

something that you said

'cos she doesn't

Get your humour 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 t-shirts

she's cheer captain and

I'm on the bleachers

dreaming 'bout the day

When you'll 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-e-e?

You belong with me-e-e

you belong with me

Walkin' the streets

with you in your

worn out jeans

I can't help thinking

this is how it

Ought to be

laughing on a park bench

thinkin' 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 find

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

dreaming 'bout the day

When you'll 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-e-e?

You belong with me-e-e

Standing by and waiting

at your back door

all this time how

could you not

know ba-by-y?

You belong with me-e-e

you belong with me

Oh I 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 about to cry

I know your favourite

songs and you tell me

about your dreams

I think I know where

you belong, I think

I know it's with me-e

Can't you see that

I'm the one who

understands you?

been here all along

so why can't you see-e-e?

You belong with me-e-e-e

Standing by and waiting

at your back door

all this time

how could you not

know ba-by-y?

You belong with me-e-e

you belong with me

You belong with me

have you ever thought

just maybe-e-e

you belong with me-e-e

you belong with me
