We Belong Together
DJ Clue feat. Mariah Carey Jadakiss & Styles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ooh, ooh, sweet love, yeah)

I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
Cause I didn't know you
Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
(We belong together)

[Chorus]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
Cause we belong together

Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life, baby

[Chorus]

Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby

[Chorus]

Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better




Oh baby, baby
We belong together

Line by Line Meaning

I didn't mean it
I regret ever saying I didn't love you


When I said I didn't love you, so
I was wrong to tell you I didn't love you


I should have held on tight
I should have kept you close to me


I never shoulda let you go
I regret breaking up with you


I didn't know nothing
I was ignorant and didn't understand


I was stupid, I was foolish
I made a mistake and acted irrationally


I was lying to myself
I deceived myself into believing things that weren't true


I could not fathom that I would ever
I couldn't imagine a life without your love


Be without your love
Living without your love is unbearable


Never imagined I'd be
I never thought I'd find myself


Sitting here beside myself
Feeling lonely and lost without you


Cause I didn't know you
I didn't fully understand you or appreciate you


Cause I didn't know me
I didn't understand my true feelings and desires


But I thought I knew everything
I was arrogant and overconfident


I never felt
I've never experienced


The feeling that I'm feeling
The profound emotions I feel now


Now that I don't hear your voice
Now that you're not with me


Or have your touch and kiss your lips
I miss your physical presence and affection


Cause I don't have a choice
I can't change the fact that you're gone


Oh, what I wouldn't give
I would do anything


To have you lying by my side
To have you close to me again


Right here, cause baby
Because we truly belong together


When you left I lost a part of me
You took a piece of me with you when you left


It's still so hard to believe
I still can't accept that you're gone


Come back baby, please
I'm begging you to come back to me


Who else am I gon' lean on
I have no one else to turn to


When times get rough
When life becomes challenging


Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Who will I have to confide in


Till the sun comes up
Late into the night


Who's gonna take your place
No one can replace you


There ain't nobody better
You're the best there is


I can't sleep at night
I'm suffering from insomnia


When you are on my mind
Because I miss you too much


Bobby Womack's on the radio
A song on the radio reminds me of you


Saying to me
The song's lyrics are speaking directly to me


"If you think you're lonely now"
The song makes me feel even lonelier


Wait a minute
But hold on


This is too deep (too deep)
This is too intense


I gotta change the station
I need to listen to something else


So I turn the dial
I switch to another station


Trying to catch a break
I'm trying to find some respite from my pain


And then I hear Babyface
Another song reminds me of you


I only think of you
You're always on my mind


And it's breaking my heart
My heart is aching from the pain of missing you


I'm trying to keep it together
I'm trying not to fall apart


But I'm falling apart
I'm struggling to cope without you


I'm feeling all out of my element
I feel like I don't belong anywhere


I'm throwing things, crying
I'm so distraught that I'm acting out


Trying to figure out
Trying to understand


Where the hell I went wrong
What I did to cause you to leave me


The pain reflected in this song
This song perfectly captures my pain


It ain't even half of what
This song only scratches the surface of


I'm feeling inside
The depth of my sorrow


I need you
I can't live without you


Need you back in my life, baby
I need you to return to my life


Who am I gonna lean on
I have no one to support me


Oh baby, baby
Please come back to me
