You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that tu 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 música 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 día when tu wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If tu could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't tu see?
tu belong with me, tu belong with me

Walking the streets with tu 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 a while since she brought tu down
tu say you're fine, I know tu better than that
Hey, what ya 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 día when tu wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If tu could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't tu see?
tu belong with me

Standing por and waiting at your back door
All this time how could tu not know?
Baby, tu belong with me, tu belong with me

Oh, I remember tu driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes tu laugh when tu know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorito! songs and tu tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where tu belong, think I know it's with me

Can't tu see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't tu see?
tu belong with me

Standing por and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could tu not know?
Baby, tu belong with me, tu belong with me

tu belong with me
Have tu ever thought just maybe
tu belong with me?
tu belong with me
