You Belong With Me
t s Lyrics

You're on the phone with your girlfriend
Your girlfriend is upset and is currently talking to you on the phone.

She's upset
Your girlfriend is not in a good mood at the moment.

She's going off about something that you said
Your girlfriend is frustrated and angry about something that you said.

'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
Your girlfriend doesn't understand your sense of humor like I do.

I'm in my room
I am currently in my room.

It's a typical Tuesday night
This is a regular Tuesday night for me.

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
I'm listening to a type of music that your girlfriend doesn't like.

And she'll never know your story like I do
I know your personal story and details about you that your girlfriend is not aware of.

But she wears short skirts
Your girlfriend likes to wear short skirts.

I wear T-shirts
I prefer to wear T-shirts.

She's cheer captain
Your girlfriend is the captain of the cheerleading team.

And I'm on the bleachers
I watch the games from the bleachers.

Dreaming about the day when you wake up
I imagine a future moment where you realize something important.

And find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time
You will discover that what you were searching for was always with you, right in front of you.

If you can see I'm the one who understands you
You need to realize that I am the one who understands you the best.

Been here all along so why can't you see
I have been here all along, so it's surprising that you haven't realized this sooner.

You belong with me
I believe that you and I belong together.

Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I am with you, walking around the streets while you wear your worn-out jeans.

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
I can't help but feel like this is how things should be.

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
We are sitting on a park bench, laughing together while I'm thinking to myself.

Hey isn't this easy
This is so easy, comfortable, and natural for us.

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
You have a smile that is so bright and amazing that it could light up the entire town.

I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
I haven't seen your beautiful smile in a while, because your girlfriend has brought you down.

You say your fine
You are telling me that you are doing fine.

I know you better then that
But I know you better than that.

Hey what you doing with a girl like that
Why are you dating a girl like her?

She wears high heels
Your girlfriend likes to wear high heels.

I wear sneakers
I prefer to wear sneakers.

If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
If you can realize that I am the one who understands you better than anyone else.

Standing by and waiting at your back door
I am currently standing by and waiting at your back door.

All this time how could you not know
After all this time, I cannot believe that you didn't already know.

Baby, you belong with me
You should be with me, instead of being with her.

Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night
I remember when you came to my house in the middle of the night, driving to see me.

I'm the one who makes you laugh
I am the reason that you are laughing.

When you know you're about to cry
I am here for you, making you laugh when you feel like crying.

And I know your favorite songs
I know all of your favorite songs.

And you tell me about your dreams
You share your hopes and dreams with me.

I think I know where you belong
I am positive that you belong with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
I wish that you could see that I am the one who knows and understands you the best.

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

You belong with me
You were meant to be with me.

You belong with me
You should be with me, because we are meant to be together.
