You're on the phone with your girlfriend , she's upset .
She's going off about something that you said .
Cause she'll never get your humor like I do .
I'm in the room , its a typical Tuesday night .
I'm listening to the 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
Dreamin' 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 and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be .
Laughing on the 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 .
Hey , what ya doing with a girl like that ?
She wears high heels , I wear sneakers .
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 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 .
Standing by and 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 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 .
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams .
Think I know where you belong , think I know its with me .
Can't 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 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 .
So why can't you see ? I'm the one with high heels and short skirts . You dont belong with me .
