Taylor Swift Lyrics
"You Belong With Me"
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 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 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 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
Walk in 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
You say you're fine I know you better than 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 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 backdoor
All this time how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me
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 about 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 backdoor
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

Taylor Swift said about the background of this track, "I had overheard a friend of mine talking to his girlfriend and he was completely on the defensive, saying, 'I love you more than anything! Baby, I'm so sorry.' She was just yelling at him! I felt so bad for him at that moment. So, I came up with the first line..."
The meaning of this song was explained by Taylor Swift, who said, "This song is basically about wanting someone who is with this girl who doesn't appreciate him at all."
Lucas Till from "Hannah Montana: The Movie" played in the music video for the song.
The music video won the 2009 MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. It was there when Kanye West jumped on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to interrupt her and to say that Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was one of the best videos of all time. Beyoncé's clip won Video of the Year later that night.
When Taylor Swift was asked by MTV News about the Kanye West's "moment" during 2009 MTV Video Music Award, she replied, "I was really excited, because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was onstage. And then I wasn't so excited anymore after that."
Butch Walker made a banjo rendition of "You Belong With Me" and posted in online. When Taylor Swift heard it, she invited him to perform that version together on the 2010 Grammy telecast.
