We Belong Together
Mariah Carey Feat. Jadakiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

(Remix, Remix)
(Desert Storm)
Uh, yo
Show your respect whenever you hear me or see me
This is The Emancipation of Mimi
Hot like a real fever, the real diva
So successful, yet still so eager
No matter what they say, it's on forever
It's our time right now, more than ever
'Til the death, we gon' get it on together
And MC, you know we belong together (come on)
Come on

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I only think of you
On two occasions
That's day and night
I'd go for broke
If I could be wit' you
Only you can make it right
Make it right, make it right

We belong together like the sun in the summertime
Bounce in a lemon Range
Skip in a Hummer lime
P and Kiss in and out
Mariah on the other line
Baby, I'mma come back
Believe it'll come a time
We belong together like peanut butter and jelly
Februaries and skellies, after-parties and tellies
Feel you in my stomach like you a part of my belly
Baby I'ma come back, hope every part of you ready

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' 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
Singin' to me "If you think you're lonely now
Wait until tonight"
Boy, I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, cryin'
Tryin' to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life
Baby (let's go)

You gon' need a shoulder to cry on
Classic Mustang Cobra to ride on
Past is the past, just let it be bygones
Matter of fact, I know a fly song that we could vibe on
Let's get it straight
If it's the 6 or the quarter to eight
Then I'm thowin' Babyface or Shai on
Yeah, Kiss, Ghost and MC
Get close and toast to the diva and MC's
Uh, the trees will blow
Big cups, Pinot Grigio
Take it easy, though
We belong together, we know that
Now, I think that it's 'bout time we show that
Even though every moment won't be a Kodak
Sometimes we argue
I spazz out, grab my bozak
Come back, not 'cause I have to, I want to
And naw, I don't just wanna have you
I want you (I want you)

I lost a part of me
When you left, boy, can't you see
Boy, come back baby please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on when times get rough?
Who's gon' talk to me 'til the sun comes up?
Who's gon' take your place? There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

This is the Desert Storm Remix (We belong together)
Oh baby, baby, we belong together
DJ Clue, Desert Storm
Come back, baby, please
We belong together (MC)
Woah oh, come back, baby, please
It's still so hard to believe
We belong together




Yeah (We back baby)
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" are about regret and the realization of how much someone means to you after they are gone. The song starts with Mariah acknowledging that she was foolish to let her lover go and that she never meant it when she said that she didn't love them. She explains that she did not understand the extent to which her lover's love mattered to her until she was alone, and now she would do anything to have them back.


Throughout the song, Mariah's desperation to have her lover return is evident in the lyrics. She talks about the pain of missing them, the feeling of emptiness without them, and the inability to sleep at night because of how much she misses them. Mariah's heartbreak is heightened by Bobby Womack's "If You Think You're Lonely Now" on the radio, which only serves to remind her of her own loneliness.


The chorus of the song is a plea for her lover to come back to her because they belong together. Mariah recognizes that they were meant to be together, that there is no one better suited for her than her lover, and that there is no one else she can turn to when times get rough.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain of losing someone you love and the overwhelming desire to be reunited with them again.


Line by Line Meaning

I didn't mean it
I spoke insincerely


When I said I didn't love you, so
I falsely claimed not to have affection for you


I should have held on tight
I should have kept a firm grip


I never shoulda let you go
I regret releasing you


I didn't know nothing
I was completely unaware


I was stupid, I was foolish
I acted senselessly and unwisely


I was lying to myself
I was deceiving myself


I could not fathom that I would ever
I was unable to comprehend the possibility that I would ever


Be without your love
Be devoid of the love you gave


Never imagined I'd be
I did not envision this situation


Sitting here beside myself
I am alone and desolate


Cause I didn't know you
Because I was not truly acquainted with you


Cause I didn't know me
Because I was not familiar with myself


But I thought I knew everything
Yet I was convinced I was omniscient


I never felt
I never experienced


The feeling that I'm feeling
This sensation that I am enduring


Now that I don't hear your voice
Since I am deprived of your vocal presence


Or have your touch and kiss your lips
Or interact with your physical form and embrace your mouth


Cause I don't have a choice
Because I am powerless to influence the outcome


Oh, what I wouldn't give
The measure I would undertake


To have you lying by my side
To have you configured at my flank


Right here, cause baby
At this location, my infant


(We belong together)
(We are supposed to be together)


When you left I lost a part of me
A portion of me dissipated when you withdrew


It's still so hard to believe
I still struggle to accept this reality


Come back baby, please
Return to me, my dear


Cause we belong together
Because we are meant to be together


Who else am I gon' lean on
On whom else am I going to rely?


When times get rough
When circumstances become challenging


Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Who will engage in phone conversations with me


Till the sun comes up
Until the sun emerges above the horizon


Who's gonna take your place
Who will assume your position


There ain't nobody better
No one else is superior


Oh, baby baby, we belong together
Oh, dear, we are meant to be together


I can't sleep at night
I am unable to slumber during the night


When you are on my mind
When my thoughts concern you


Bobby Womack's on the radio
Bobby Womack's music is airing on the radio


Saying to me
Uttering to me


"If you think you're lonely now"
"If you believe you are isolated in the present"


Wait a minute
One moment, please


This is too deep (too deep)
I am delving too deeply into my emotions (too deeply)


I gotta change the station
I must alter the radio station


So I turn the dial
So I adjust the tuner


Trying to catch a break
Attempting to seize a momentary respite


And then I hear Babyface
Subsequently, I listen to Babyface


I only think of you
My thoughts exclusively concern you


And it's breaking my heart
This is causing me great emotional pain


I'm trying to keep it together
I am endeavouring to stay composed


But I'm falling apart
However, I am collapsing inwardly


I'm feeling all out of my element
I am experiencing displacement and disorientation


I'm throwing things, crying
I am hurling objects and weeping


Trying to figure out
Attempting to comprehend


Where the hell I went wrong
How I erred catastrophically


The pain reflected in this song
The agony that is embodied in this tune


It ain't even half of what
It is not even fifty percent of the extent of


I'm feeling inside
What I am experiencing internally


I need you
I require you


Need you back in my life, baby
Need you to return to my existence, my dear


Who am I gonna lean on
On whom am I going to rely?


When times get rough
When circumstances become challenging


Who's gonna talk to me
Who will converse with me


Till the sun comes up
Until the sun emerges above the horizon


Who's gonna take your place
Who will assume your position


There ain't nobody better
No one else is superior


Oh baby, baby
Oh dear, oh dear


We belong together
We are meant to be together
