We Belong Together



Sometimes songs can speak to me so much more than the people around me. Sometimes it can bring alive such stark realities that id otherwise keep pressed away, it can move me in ways i cant explain and take me to dimensions i cant otherwise understand. We Belong Together is one such song. It took me into space.

J and I would play it all the time and maybe even repeat the words to each other sometimes, these are little secrets i kept concealed and today theyre free and i embrace them so openly. I'd just lie there and play it all day long. And then obviously when J would disappear and none of my friends had a clue i'd use this song and relate it to it in such levels that nobody could've put a finger on. I remember those lazy afternoons i'd just sit around, languid, listening to this song. Sometimes i'd paint pictures of how I will be in love again. It's the kind of song that makes you want to be in love. I This song just has to be the one that splits me open till today. Call me schmaltzy, call me cheesy, it really doesnt matter because its songs like these that speak to our deepest emotions. IAM A COMPLETE 'WE BELONG TOGETHER' junkie. It moves me to crumble up completely, i get goosebumps listening to mariah's voice and the lyrics are just so simplistic that its extremely ease to end up relating to it. Everyone can relate to this one. PLEASE HAVE A LISTEN AND COMMENT

Just as a selling point this song has won 3 grammies and numerous other awards apart for being the song of 2005 and the longest stay at #1 this decade. It also happens to be Mariah's biggest hit in terms of worldwide chart success and the amazing career comeback for her. Her 16!! #1 single and definetely one of her best!


I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight I never should've let you go
I didn't know nothing I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself

I could not fathom that I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you, 'cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

The feeling that I'm feeling now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips 'cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you lying by my side
Right here, 'cause baby
(We belong together)

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone 'till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together

I can't sleep at night when you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio saying to me:
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute this is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station so I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break and then I hear Babyface
I only think of you and it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together but I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song it ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
I need you, need you back in my life, baby
(We belong together)

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone 'til the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby!

When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together

Who I'm gonna lean on when times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me 'til the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place there ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together
