You Belong With Me

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 You belong with me You belong with me! Walking the streets with you and 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 could light up this whole town. I haven't seen it in awhile since he brought you down. You say you're fine—I know you better than that. Hey, what you doing with a dick like that? I wear Toms and He wears sneakers He's banging your friend Underneath the bleachers And I'm 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 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 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. I think I know where you belong, I think I know it's with me. Why can't you just fucking see? Why can't you just fucking see? 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 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
