Lyrics
Do you remember the scene back when we both were teens? When first our young eyes met?
It was a lazy September, Sunday evening , and I was smokin' those long cigarettes...
Cruisin'...out on my way at the end of the day, I saw you on your porch swing:
Lookin' just like a dream in your shortest blue jeans, little half-tee and sexy toe ring!
And my heart kept on following you, as I trucked on past your lawn.
Staring back in the mirror, I freaked out--slipped a gear
You just laughed...I know we couldn't go wrong: We Belong! We Belong!
Together, you and me, we were young wild and free... And we loved like there was no end.
But tell me how could it be, that a "black sheep" like me could have gotten along with your kin?
Then as the years went by, when our love didn't die... Folk became suspicious of me.
This little straight-laced girl with her eye on the world... She deserved so much more than just me.
And my heart kept on following you, as I trucked on past your lawn.
Staring back in the mirror, I freaked out--slipped a gear
You just laughed...I know we couldn't go wrong: We Belong! We Belong!
But we knew we were right--they were just wrong
'Cause they did not agree and we knew it all along.
They wanted so much more; didn't want no wedding song.
But we could be strong... We knew we belonged!
Now it's two cars, two jobs, babies and bills...Our pay and our time is measly.
And stayin' in love--it takes help from above; Fallin' in love was so easy.
Sometimes, I get so angry, 'bout feelin' guilty... And wanting to leave.
Then I just imagine you as the girl I once knew And I remember you're all that I need...
AND WE BELONG! WE ARE STRONG!
THEY WERE WRONG! WE BELONG!!!
