You Belong To Me
The Title Sequence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We shared the headphones to my walkman, as we waited for the train
The record was in stereo, you heard singing I heard bass
But we both knew the song so well, to us it didn't matter
The train pulls off, we both held hands, and listened to the clatter
Of the people sitting in the sun, we all avoid the chewing gum
The inspector comes, the children run, the days begun and you belong to me

In between the stations, I lose all track of time
Paul Simon playing in my head as you read the tv times
That we found upon the seats we chose, although they needed mending
My Dad told me to never sit with your back towards the engine
The tunnel comes i hold my breath and pretend to nearly die
You shake me with you hand and shake you head and then you sigh
"What am i going to do with you, you're such a fool, but you belong to me"

I take up the window, while you move to the aisle
Reflections of the passengers amuse us for a while
Till the driver calls attention to the station destination
A man who stands is unaware of the napkin situation
As we watch it hanging gently like a tail he realised
You bite your lip and pinch me very tightly like a child
"what am i going to do with you, you're such a fool but you belong to me"
you belong to me




"what am i going to do with you, you're such a fool but you belong to me"
you belong to me

The lyrics are simple yet evocative, painting vivid images of shared experiences and intimacy.

The final verse has a playful tone, as the woman teases the man about his quirks but ends with the declaration that he belongs to her.

The train journey is a metaphor for the journey of love and how it can encompass all our senses.

Line by Line Meaning

We shared the headphones to my walkman, as we waited for the train
We enjoyed the music on my walkman together while waiting for the train


The record was in stereo, you heard singing I heard bass
The music was in stereo with different parts noticeable to each of us


But we both knew the song so well, to us it didn't matter
Although we each heard different parts, we both knew the song by heart


The train pulls off, we both held hands, and listened to the clatter
We held hands and listened to the sounds of the train as it pulled away


Of the people sitting in the sun, we all avoid the chewing gum
We looked at the other passengers sitting in the sun and avoided the gum on the ground


The inspector comes, the children run, the days begun and you belong to me
The train inspector arrived, children ran, the day started and I felt you belonged to me


In between the stations, I lose all track of time
I forget about time passing between stations


Paul Simon playing in my head as you read the tv times
I imagine Paul Simon's music playing in my head as you read the TV schedule


That we found upon the seats we chose, although they needed mending
We found some seats but they were broken and needed repair


My Dad told me to never sit with your back towards the engine
My Dad taught me to never sit with my back facing the engine


The tunnel comes i hold my breath and pretend to nearly die
As we enter a tunnel, I hold my breath and pretend to be scared


You shake me with you hand and shake you head and then you sigh
You shake your head and sigh, feeling exasperated with me


"What am i going to do with you, you're such a fool, but you belong to me"
"What am I going to do with you? You're silly, but I still love you and you're mine"


I take up the window, while you move to the aisle
I sit by the window while you move to the aisle


Reflections of the passengers amuse us for a while
We look at the reflections of passengers in the windows and are entertained for a bit


Till the driver calls attention to the station destination
Until the driver announces our station


A man who stands is unaware of the napkin situation
A standing man does not realize he has a napkin hanging from his pocket


As we watch it hanging gently like a tail he realised
We watch the napkin hang gently and the man finally notices it


You bite your lip and pinch me very tightly like a child
You bite your lip and pinch me, as if scolding me like a child


"what am i going to do with you, you're such a fool but you belong to me"
"What am I going to do with you? You're silly, but I still love you and you're mine"


you belong to me
I feel like you are mine


"what am i going to do with you, you're such a fool but you belong to me"
"What am I going to do with you? You're silly, but I still love you and you're mine"


you belong to me
I feel like you are mine
