two o'clock
the moon is down
we say goodnight
you're headed for bed across town
we haven't even known each other that long
but it doesn't even matter
when you leave it feels all wrong

you belong with me
darlin' we belong together
and every time you leave
it's obvious we're still connected
you live in your world
and i live in mine
but the collision of worlds is just a matter of
time
you belong with me

now i can tell
you're so afraid
you've been lied to and taken for granted
and treated like some kind of slave
i'm not after your freedom, i'm after your heart
and i know it's gonna happen
and i knew it from the start

what happens to people in love is some kind of
mystery
but what passes for love on the streets these days
is a joke
so when people like us finally stumble into each
other
we've got to hold on tight and never let go
