You’re on the (phone) with your girlfriend she’s (upset).
She's (going) off about something that you said
‘Cause she doesn’t get your (humor) like I do
I’m in the (room) it’s a (typical) Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of (music) she doesn’t like
And she’ll never know your (story) like I do
But she wears (short) (skirts), I wear (T-shirts)
She’s cheer (captain) and I’m on the (bleachers)
(Dreaming) about the day
When you wake up and find
What you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who (understands) you
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
I can’t help thinking this is how it (ought) to be
Laughin’ on a park (bench), thinking to myself
Hey isn’t this (easy)
And you’ve got a smile that could (light) up this whole (town)
I haven’t seen it in a (while) since she (brought) you (down)
You say you’re (fine) I know you better than that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears (high) (heels) I wear (sneakers)
She's cheer (captain) and I’m on the (bleachers)
(Dreaming) about the day when you wake up and find
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who (understands) you
Been here all along so (why) can’t you see
You belong with me
(Standing) by and (waiting) at your back door
All this time how could you not know
(Baby) you belong with me
You belong with me
Oh I remember you (drivin’) to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you (laugh)
When you know you’re about to (cry)
And know your (favorite) songs
And you tell me about your (dreams)
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it’s with me
Can’t you see that I’m the one who (understands) you
Been here all along so (why) can’t you see
You belong with me
(Standing) by and (waiting) at your back door
All this time how could you not know
(Baby) you belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just (maybe)
You belong with me
You belong with me
