You Belong With Me (Behind The Scenes) Songtext / Lyric

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 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?



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 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 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.
