You Belong With Me
Taylor Swift⁴ Lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend
You are speaking with your girlfriend

She's upset
She is agitated

She's going off about something that you said
She is ranting about something you said

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
She does not understand your humor like I do

I'm in my room
I am in my room

It's a typical Tuesday night
It's an ordinary Tuesday night

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
I am listening to a type of music she dislikes

And she'll never know your story like I do'
She will never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts
She wears short dresses

I wear T-shirts
I wear T-shirts

She’s cheer captain
She is a cheerleading captain

And I'm on the bleachers
I sit on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up
I daydream about the day you realize

And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
and realize that what you were looking for was always with me

If you can see I'm the one who understands you
If you can realize that I am the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see
I have 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
Walking the streets with you, your worn-out jeans beside me

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
I cannot help but think that this is how it should be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
We are laughing on a park bench, I am thinking to myself

Hey isn't this easy
Hey isn't this easy

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
You have a smile bright enough to light up the entire town

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
I have not seen it in a while since she made you sad

You say your fine
You say you are okay

I know you better then that
I know you better than that

Hey what you doing with a girl like that
Hey, what are you doing with a girl like her

She wears high heels
She wears high heels

I wear sneakers
I wear sneakers

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
She is captain of the cheerleading team and I am on the bleachers

Dreaming about the day when you wake up
I am dreaming about the day when you recognize

And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
that what you were looking for was always with me

If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
If you can see that I am the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see
I have been here all along, so why can't you see

You belong with me
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
Standing beside and waiting at your back door

All this time how could you not know
All this time, how could you not know

Baby, you belong with me
Baby, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night
Oh, I remember you driving to my house late at night

I'm the one who makes you laugh
I'm the one who amuses you

When you know you're about to cry
When you feel like crying

And I know your favourite songs
And I know your favourite songs

And you tell me about your dreams
And you share your dreams with me

I think I know where you belong
I think I know where you belong

I think I know it's with me
I think it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Can't you see the one who understands you

Been here all along so why can't you see
I have been here all along, so why can't you see

You belong with me
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
Standing beside and waiting at your back door

All this time
All this time

How could you not know
How could you not know

Baby you belong with me
Baby, you belong with me

You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
Have you ever thought that maybe

You belong with me
You belong with me

You belong with me
You belong with me
