I Wish You Belong with Me

baby I seen the chick you're with
wish that I never did
frickin' perfect and five foot ten
just wanna punch her lip
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
cause I know I've been wasting time
tryin' to catch your eye
yeah i know that I've been so blind
thinkin' that i'm your type
i'm in my room it's a typical Tuesday night
i'm listing to the kind of music she doesn't like
but she'll never know your story like i do

she wears short skirts
i wear tshirts
she's cheer captain
and i'm on the bleachers
and now i'm at home
i'm all alone
bout to pick up the telephone
got to call my genie so he knows
dreaming bout the day that 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
i wish i was tall
i wish i was fast
wish i could shop with a bag full of cash
cause if i want you i gotta have that
standing by you waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby
you belong with me
i wish i had style
i wish i had flash
wish i woke up
with a butt and a rack
cause if i want you
i gotta have that
you belong with me*

baby i'm gonna keep it real
boy you're the one i want
i don't own any five inch heels
just got my nikes on
walking the streets with you
in 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
never thought i was insecure
boy look at what you done
i din't know what i studied for,
clearly you like them dumb

she wears high heels
i wear sneakers
she's cheer captain and
i'm on the bleachers
and now i'm at home
i'm all alone
bout to pick up the telephone
got to call my genie so he knows
dreaming bout the day that 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
i wish i was tall
i wish i was fast
wish i could shop with a bag full of cash
cause if i want you i gotta have that
standing by you waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby
you belong with me
i wish i had style
i wish i had flash
wish i woke up
with a butt and a rack
cause if i want you
i gotta have that
you belong with me*

oh I remember you
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


*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
i wish i was tall
i wish i was fast
wish i could shop with a bag full of cash
cause if i want you i gotta have that
standing by you waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know baby
you belong with me
i wish i had style
i wish i had flash
wish i woke up
with a butt and a rack
cause if i want you
i gotta have that
you belong with me*
