You Belong With Me
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's goin' off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like
She'll never know your story like I do
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreamin' 'bout the day when you 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 and 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, what you 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 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
Standin' by and waitin' at your backdoor
All this time, how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me
You belong with me
Oh, I remember you drivin' 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
And 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
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 backdoor
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
The song "You Belong With Me" is an emotional ballad about a girl who has feelings for her best friend, who is in a relationship with someone else. The lyrics describe the singer's frustration and longing as she watches her friend with his girlfriend, feeling that she is a better match for him. The opening lines describe a phone conversation between the friend and his girlfriend, with the singer eavesdropping on the conversation. She describes her ability to understand her friend's sense of humor, something that his girlfriend cannot. She also feels that she knows him better than his girlfriend does.
The chorus is a plea to her friend to see that he belongs with her, not his girlfriend. She describes the differences between herself and his girlfriend, wearing t-shirts instead of short skirts and sneakers instead of high heels. The singer also reminisces about spending time with her friend, walking the streets and laughing together. She notes that his girlfriend brought him down, causing him to lose his smile, which she misses.
The bridge of the song discusses how the singer has been there for her friend, through good times and bad, waiting for him at his backdoor. She knows his favorite songs and his dreams and feels that she belongs with him. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus's plea for her friend to recognize their connection and realize that he belongs with her.
Overall, "You Belong With Me" describes the internal struggle of unrequited love and the pain of seeing someone you care about with someone else. The singer longs for her friend to recognize her feelings and understand that she is a better match for him than his current girlfriend.
