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 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

And she'll never
Know your story like I do


She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain

And I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you'll wake up

And find that what you're
Lookin' for has been here the whole time


CHORUS
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


Walk in the streets
With you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinkin'

This is how it ought to be
Laughin' 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 a while

Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that

Hey, watcha doin' with a girl like that?

She wears high heels

I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers

Dreamin' 'bout the day
When you'll wake up
And find that what you're

Lookin' for has been here the whole time

CHORUS

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
And waitin' at your back door

All this time
How could you not know, baby?
You belong with me

You belong with me

And 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 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

CHORUS

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

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

Have you ever just thought maybe?
You belong with me

You belong with me
