I'm on the phone with my girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that I said
But she doesn't get my humor like you do

You're in your room, it's a typical Tuesday night
You're listening to the kind of music that I like
But she'll never get my story like you do

But she wears short skirts, you wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and you're on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when we'll wake up to find
That what we're looking for has been here the whole time

And now I see that you're the one who understands me
Been here all along and now girl, I see
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walking the streets with my dark-wash slim fit jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin 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 cause she holds me down
I say I'm fine, you know me better than that
Why did I fall for a girl like that?

She wears high heels, you wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and you're on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when we'll wake up to find
That what we're looking for has been here the whole time

And now I see that you're the one who understands me
Been here all along and now girl, I see
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could I not know? Baby
You belong with me

Coz I remembered me driving to your house in the middle of the night
You're the one who makes me laugh even when I'm bout to cry
You know all my favorite songs and we talk about our dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

I see that you're the one who understands me
Been here all along and now girl, I see
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could I not know? Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me

Now I know for sure, baby
You belong with me
You belong with me
