🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • Standing by and waiting at your backdoor
  • All this time how could you not know, baby?
  • You belong with me
  • You belong with me
