You're on the phone With your girlfriend She's upset She's going off about Something that you said 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 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.
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 awhile Since she brought you down You say you're fine I know you better than that Hey whatchu 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 you 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 driving 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 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 you 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.
I spent twenty years tryin' to get out of this place I was lookin' for somethin' I couldn't replace I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known
And like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that, now I ain't lookin' back And the seeds I've sown, savin' dimes Spendin' too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home? There's only one place that call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left, I want to go Who says you can't go home? It's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There isn't one of these lines that I would erase I left a million mile of memories on that road
Every step I take, I know that I'm not alone You take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home These are my streets, the only life I've ever known Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home? There's only one place that call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left, I want to go Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, who says you can't go home? It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, who says you can't go home?
I've been there, done that, now I ain't lookin' back It's been a long, long road, feels like I've never left That's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you when you go Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home? There's only one place that call me one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back? Been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one place left, I want to go Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, who says you can't go home? It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, who says you can't go home?
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
