.my take on being a real friend.

so, i had time on my hands this arvo and decided to muck around with one of taylor swift's songs...

its called "you belong with me". the original lyrics circles around a best friend who thinks she's better for the guy than his current girlfriend... i know, it happens. but then, here i was, thoroughly inspired.


You Belong With Me.mp3 - Taylor Swift


soOoo... i'd suggest, in order to experience the full effect of my modifications, you should check out the original lyrics... to do so, please click here.

and when you're ready, here's mine...

"He Belongs To Me"

He’s on the phone with me
His girlfriend
I’m upset
You think I’m going off
bout something that he said
You don’t know what’s really happening
Like I do

You’re in your room
It's a typical Tuesday night
You’re listening to the kind of music
that I don't quite like
I’ll never know his story
Like you do

Cuz you’re his best friend
I’m his girlfriend
You’ve been around longer
Don’t mean you’re right together
Stop dreaming ‘bout the day
When he wakes up and find
That who he’s looking for
Has been you the whole time

Cuz can’t you see
That I'm the one
He’s chose to be with
You can tag along
But don’t forget that
He, he belongs to me
He belongs to me.

You’re walking the streets
With him and his worn out jeans
You can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to yourself
Hey, isn't this easy?

I know he’s got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since you brought him down
You say you're fine
He knows you better than that
Hey whatchu doing
Stressing him like that

Cuz I’m his girlfriend
You’re his best friend
Hangin’ ‘round longer
Don’t mean you’re right together
Stop dreaming ‘bout the day
When he wakes up and find
That who he’s looking for
Has been you the whole time

Cuz can’t you see
That I'm the one
He’s chose to be with
You can tag along
But don’t forget that
He, he belongs to me
You’ve been standing by
But here, I’m at his front door
All this time
How could you not know
that He,
He wants to be with me
Wanna be with me.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I know he’s been
Driving to your house
In the middle of the night
Sure I know you make him laugh
When you think he’s about to cry
But can’t you see its wrong
When he tells you bout his dreams
You’ve been selfish all along
Thinking he should leave me…

Can't you see
That i'm the one
He wants to be with
You’re just the friend all along
Why can't you see?
He belongs with me.

You’ve been standing by
But here, I’m at his front door
All this time
How could you not know
that He,
He wants to be with me
Wanna be with me.

Have you ever thought
Just maybe
He belongs with me?

in a nutshell, i just think it would be fair to give the girlfriend a little say in who her boyfriend should belong to/with. if i didn't have phrasing and rhyming restrictions, i would have much more to add to it. this was fun. :)

and mind you, random inspirations creep up! so i hope no one takes this personally. heck, i could fall for my best friend one day and think the same. who knows rite?

but right now, i just think, in the midst of getting caught up in what you think is best for you, lets not forget that we have no rights [best friend or not] to meddle in the romantic lives of others. especially if you dare call yourself a best friend.

because truth is, if its not our relationship, we really don't know whats happening. so lets not be so quick to criticize two people's relationship, no matter how peculiar it may seem to us. how else can you explain hot girls dating frogs and hot guys dating mules, right? :)

again, just my two cents.

p.s. here's the instrumental version of the song if you wanna try out my lyrics. HAHA :)
