You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset 
She's going off about something that you said 
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 about 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? 
You belong with me 
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 the 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? 
You belong with me 

Standin’ by, waiting at your back door 
All this time how could you not know that? 
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 
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams 
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me. 

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand 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 that 
You belong with me 
You belong with me 

Have you ever thought just maybe 
You belong with me 
You belong with me
