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 humour 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
[Chorus]
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain; 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
[Verse 2]
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'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 humour like I do
[Chorus]
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain; 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
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
[Bridge]
You're on the phone and you talk and talk and talk and talk
My heart's in overdrive, I choke on every single word I say
My stomach turns, when the phone light flickers in his eyes
But then he smiles at me and forgives every dirty word that escaped
[Chorus]
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 You belong with me
