You Belong With Me
T. S. Lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
You're talking to your girlfriend, but she's not happy.

She's goin' off about something that you said
She's ranting because of something you said.

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
Because she doesn't share our sense of humor.

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm in a room, like any other weekday evening.

I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like
I'm playing the music she doesn't enjoy listening to.

She'll never know your story like I do
She won't ever be able to understand you the way I do.

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She dresses differently than me; she shows more skin, while I'm wearing a more conservative t-shirt.

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
She's responsible for leading the cheer team while I'm in the bleachers cheering along with everyone else.

Dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find
Hoping that one day you'll realize.

That what you're lookin' for has been here the whole time
That what you need is already here, right in front of you.

If you could see that
If only you could understand.

I'm the one who understands you
I'm the one who really gets you.

Been here all along, so why can't you
I've been here waiting and wondering how you couldn't see it.

See you belong with me?
See that you should be with me?

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn out jeans
Strolling down the street with you while you're wearing your old jeans.

I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be
I can't help but feel that this is how it's supposed to be.

Laughin' on a park bench thinkin' to myself
Sitting on a park bench, laughing and reflecting to myself.

Hey, isn't this easy?
Hey, isn't this simple and real?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
Your smile could bring light to the whole city.

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
I haven't seen you smile like that since she made you feel upset/depressed.

You say you're fine, I know you better than that
You say that you're okay, but I know that you're not.

Hey, what you doin' with a girl like that
Hey, why are you with someone like her?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She wears fancy shoes, while I'm wearing simple sneakers.

Standin' by and waitin' at your backdoor
I'm waiting for you, just outside your doorstep.

All this time, how could you not know
After all this time, how could you not have realized?

Baby, you belong with me
You should be with me.

Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house
I remember when you drove to my house.

In the middle of the night
It was in the middle of the night.

I'm the one who makes you laugh
I'm the one who makes you happy and laugh.

When you know you're 'bout to cry
When you're about to cry, I'm the one who makes you feel better.

And I know your favorite songs
I know your favorite songs.

And you tell me 'bout your dreams
You tell me about your dreams.

Think I know where you belong
I think I know where you should be.

Think I know it's with me
I think I know that you should be with me.

Can't you see that
Can't you realize that.

You belong with me?
You should be with me?

Have you ever thought
Have you ever considered

Just maybe you belong with me
That you might actually belong with me?

You belong with me
You should be with me.
