You Belong With Me
Taylor Swift - Fearless (Taylor's Version) Lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
Your girlfriend is upset and you are talking to her on the phone.

She's goin' off about somethin' that you said
She is talking to you about something you said that upset her.

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

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I am in a room and it feels like a regular Tuesday night.

I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like
I am listening to a type of music that she does not like.

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

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She dresses up in short skirts while I prefer T-shirts.

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
She is the cheer captain and I am in the stands watching the game.

Dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find
I am dreaming of a day when you realize that I am the one you want to be with.

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
You have been searching for what you want, and it has been here all along.

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
You need to understand that I am the one who truly understands you.

Been here all along, so why can't you see
I have been here the whole time, so why can't you realize it?

You belong with me
You should be with me.

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I want to walk around with you while you wear your old jeans.

I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be
I feel like this is how things should be between us.

Laughin' on a park bench, thinkin' to myself
We should sit on a bench in a park, and laugh together.

"Hey, isn't this easy?"
This is simple and fun, isn't it?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
Your smile has the power to brighten up everyone's day in this town.

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
I have not seen your smile for a while because she has made you unhappy.

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

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

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She prefers high heels while I prefer sneakers.

Standin' by and waitin' at your back door
I am standing by and waiting at your back door.

All this time, how could you not know, baby
After all this time, how could you not know that we should be together?

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 late at night.

I'm the one who makes you laugh
I am the one who can make you laugh.

When you know you're 'bout to cry
When you are about to cry, I can make you laugh instead.

And I know your favorite songs
I know the songs that you love the most.

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

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

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

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Why can't you see that I am the one who truly understands you?

Been here all along, so why can't you see
I have been here the whole time, so why can't you understand that?

You belong with me
You should be with me.

Have you ever thought just maybe
Have you ever considered that maybe...

You belong with me
...you should actually be with me?

You belong with me
You should be with me.
