You Belong With Me
piano and taylor Lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
You're talking to your girlfriend who's unhappy about something you said

She's goin' off about somethin' that you said
She's ranting about whatever you said that upset her

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

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm here, it's an ordinary Tuesday night

I'm listenin' to the kind of music she doesn't like
I'm playing the music she doesn't appreciate

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

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She dresses in short skirts, I wear T-shirts

She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
She's a cheer captain, and I sit on the bleachers

Dreamin' 'bout the day when you wake up and find
Wishing for a day when you notice

That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
What you seek has been right here all along

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
If only you can perceive that I'm the only one who understands your every move

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

You belong with me
You are meant to be with me

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
Walking down the streets with you wearing your old jeans

I can't help thinkin' this is how it ought to be
I can't help thinking that this is how it should be

Laughin' on a park bench, thinkin' to myself
Laughing on a park bench, thinking about oneself

"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 that can make this whole town bright

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

You say you're fine, I know you better than that
You say you're okay, but I know it's not true

Hey, what you doin' with a girl like that?
Hey, what do you think you're doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She wears high heels, and I wear sneakers

Standin' by and waitin' at your back door
Standing outside your back door waiting for you

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

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh
I'm the one who can make you smile

When you know you're 'bout to cry
When you know you are about to weep

And I know your favorite songs
I know your favorite songs

And you tell me 'bout your dreams
And you share with me your dreams

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

Think I know it's with me
I believe it's with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
Did you ever think maybe

You belong with me
You are meant to be with me
