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 doI'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 doBut 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 timeIf you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You, you belong with me, you belong with meWalking 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 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 day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole timeIf 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
