In my defense before I offend anybody, I do not like nor have I ever liked Taylor Swift. As someone who loves country music and the way the artists of the genre accepts anyone and builds them up to make them successful, I was truly offended by the way she turned her back on country music and acted as though those folks had done nothing for her. The artist, producers, country radio – all of them made her – who she was before she moved into pop. Country radio overplayed all of her music as does the pop stations now. I find it very fitting that my most hated love song is Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me” because she does not belong with me nor on anything I play my music on!!!!
Lyrics
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 my 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’
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 my 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
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 can see 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
Been here all along so why can’t you see
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
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 your fine
I know you better then that
Hey what you doing with a girl like that
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say your fine
I know you better then 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 what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
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 what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you can see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see
You belong with me
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
All this time how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me
You belong with me
Oh, 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
I think I know where you belong
I think I know it’s with me
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
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 understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see
You belong with me
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
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
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me
Songwriters: Liz Rose / Taylor Swift
That’s what’s in “My Rattled Cage”, thanks for stopping by!!
My Rattled Cage - What has me rattled today? 
I didn’t know she has a background in country. I like some of her songs but she always seemed to me rather arrogant and up herself. 🙋🐝
