You Belong To Me
Jason Wade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the market place
In old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till
You're home again
You belong to me

Oh I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean
In a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember till




You're home again
You belong to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jason Wade's "You Belong To Me" express a deep sense of belonging and ownership over a loved one, even when they're not present. The verses describe exotic and faraway places, such as the pyramids along the Nile, the market place in old Algiers, and the jungle when it's wet with rain. The chorus reaffirms the singer's attachment to their loved one, declaring that they belong to them, no matter where they go or what they do. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's possessiveness and highlights the power dynamic between the two.


The lyrics also express a sense of loneliness and longing for the loved one, as the singer imagines flying across the ocean and seeing the world, but still feeling incomplete without their partner. The lines "And I'll be so alone without you/Maybe you'll be lonesome too" convey a sense of mutual dependency and suggest that the two are equally emotionally invested in the relationship. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a powerful, all-consuming love that transcends distance and time.
