Youre on the phone with your girlfriend shes upset
Shes goin off about somethin that you said
Cause she doesnt get your humor like I do
Im in the room its a typical Tuesday night
Im listenin to the kind of music she doesnt like
And shell never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts I wear T-shirts
Shes cheer captain and Im on the bleachers
Dreamin bout the day when you wake up and find
That what youre looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that Im the one who understands you
Been here all along so why cant you see
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I cant help thinkin this is how it ought to be
Laughin on a park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And youve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say youre fine I know you better than that
Hey what you doin with a girl like that?

She wears high heels I wear sneakers
Shes cheer captain and Im on the bleachers
Dreamin bout the day when you wake up and find
That what youre looking for has been here the whole time


If you could see that Im the one who understands you
Been here all along so why cant you see
You belong with me
Standin by and 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
Im the one who makes you laugh
When you know youre 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 its with me

Cant you see that Im the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why cant you see
You belong with me
Standin by and waitin 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
