You Belong With Me
Taylor Swift · Speak Now World Tour Live
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't, get your humor like I do
I'm in my 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 'bout the day when you wake up and find of 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 a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels I wear sneakers
She's cheer 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
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
Oh, I remember you were 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
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 back door
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
