"You Belong with Me" is a country
pop song performed by American recording artist Taylor Swift. The song was co-written
by Swift and Liz Rose and
produced by Nathan Chapman with
Swift's aid. It was released on April 21, 2009, by Big Machine Records as the third
single from Swift's second studio album, Fearless (2008).
Swift was inspired to write "You Belong with Me" after overhearing a
male friend of hers arguing with his girlfriend through a phone call; she
continued to develop a story line afterward. The song contains many pop music
elements and its lyrics have Swift desiring an out-of-reach love interest.
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Roman White. The video featured Swift
portraying two characters, a nerd (the protagonist and narrator) and a popular
girl (the antagonist and girlfriend), while American actor Lucas Till portrayed the male lead.
The video's plot centers on the protagonist secretively loving the male lead,
although he has a girlfriend. The video won the MTV Video Award for Best Female
Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but during Swift's acceptance speech,
rapper Kanye West interrupted, protesting in support of Beyonce Knowles. The incident caused a
reaction in the media, with most people coming to Swift's defense. The song was
performed live at numerous venues, including the 2009–10 Fearless Tour, where it was the
opening number. It was covered by various artists, including Butch Walker and Selena Gomez & the Scene, and
parodied by “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Lyrics:
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
She doesnt get your humour like I do
I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt 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 bout the day when you'll wake up and find
That what you're lookin 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
Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/taylor_swift/you_belong_with_me.html ]
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day when you'll 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
Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
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
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 understand you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
