You're on the phone with your boyfriend, he's upset
He's going off about something that you said
'Cause he 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 bands he doesn't like
And he'll never know your story like I do
He wears jerseys, I wear T-shirts
He's team captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout 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-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee-ee
You belong with ME
Walking in the streets with you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how 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 he brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doin' with a dick like that?
I wear Toms and he wears sneakers
He's banging your friend underneath the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout 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-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee-ee
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee
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 'bout to cry
I know you favorite song
And you tell my 'bout your dreams
I think I know where you belong
I think I know it's with me
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST fu*kING SEE?
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST fu*kING SEE?
YOU BELONG TO ME (YOU BELONG TO ME)
YOU BELONG TO ME
If you could see that I'm
The one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you see-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee-ee-ee
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know baby-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee-ee
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe-ee-ee?
You belong with me-ee-ee
You belong with me
