You Belong with Me (Josh Abbott song)

You Belong with Me is taken from "There Goes my iPod" and "Bloody Crushing Punch Election".

Lyrics
[Verse 1]

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 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 about the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you can see I'm the one who understands you been here all along so why can't you see

You belong with me (x2)

[Verse 2]

Walkin' 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, what you 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 what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you can 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

[Verse 3]

Oh, I remember you drivin' to my house in the middle of the night

I'm the one who makes you laugh

When you know you're about to cry

And I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams

I think I know where you belong

I 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 (x2)

Have you ever thought just maybe

You belong with me (x2)
