You Belong With Me

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
 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, you belong with me
 ♪
 Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans
 I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
 Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
 "Hey, isn't this easy?"
 And you've got a smile that can 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?
 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 backdoor
 All this time how could you not know, baby?
 You belong with me, you belong with me
 ♪
 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 your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout 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 backdoor
 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
