"You Belong With Me" lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
But she doesn't get your humour like I do
And 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 that 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 in 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?"
You got a smile that could light up this whole town
Haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

'Cause she wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day that 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 'bout to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me; bout your dreams
I think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

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 (Oh)
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
