Verse: You're on the phone with your girlfriend She's upset, she's going off about something that you said Cause she doesnt 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 Pre-Chorus: 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 That what you're looking for has been here the whole time Chorus: 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 Verse: Walk in the streets with you in your worn out jeans I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on the 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 what you doing with a girl like that Pre-Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know baby You belong with me You belong with me Bridge: Oh I remember you driving 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 I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me Chorus: 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 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
