泰勒·斯威夫特在接受采访时表示，《You Belong with Me》的创作灵感来源于她在无意中听到某一个男性朋友和他女朋友打的一通电话，这个男孩一直在电话中在为自己辩解，而那个女孩只是一直冲他大吼大叫。于是泰勒·斯威夫特就写下了《You Belong with Me》的第一句歌词：你正和你的女朋友打电话，她很不高兴，然后揪着你说的话不放。然后泰勒·斯威夫特就继续将其发展为一个故事情节，设想自己也正处于故事里，她爱上了那个男孩，而他应该和自己在一起才对。于是，这就组成了《You Belong with Me》的所有歌词。

Taylor Swift - You Belong with Me

You''re on the phone with your girlfriend, shes upset.

Shes going off about something that you said

''Cuz 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 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

You belong with me

You belong with me

 

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 whatcha doing with a girl like that

She wears high heels

I wear sneakers

Shes 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 back door

all this time how could you not know

Baby....

You belong with me

You belong with me

 

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

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 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...
