  • Ooh, ooh
    Oh, oh, ooh
    Oh, oh, sweet love, yeah

    I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you so
    I shoulda held on tight, I never shoulda 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 (together)
    It's still so hard to believe (come back, come back)
    Come back, baby, please (come back, come back)
    'Cause we belong together

    Who else am I gon' 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

    I can't sleep at night
    When you are on my mind
    Bobby Womack's on the radio
    Singin' 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, cryin'
    Tryin' to figure out where the hell I went wrong
    The pain reflected in this song
    Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside
    I need you, need you back in my life
    Baby (my life, my life)

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

    Who else am I gon' 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 (together)
    It's still so hard to believe (come back, come back)
    Come back, baby, please (come back, come back)
    'Cause we belong together

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

    (Who will?)
    (Who will?)
    (Who will?)
    We belong together Writer/s: Bobby Womack, Darnell Bristol, Jermaine Mauldin, Johnta Austin, Kenneth Edmonds, Manuel Seal, Mariah Carey, Patrick Moten, Sandra Sully, Sidney Johnson

  • Dave White from Indianapolis Mariah has great vocal skills and presents herself in a sensual fashion. Thanks for the memories.
  • Bethany Ellis from Blacksburg, VaI love that song it’s my wedding song if you sing we belong together me and Joshua will belong to the family and I will be joshuas wife.
  • Dent from UgandaIt's an emotional song, really good
  • Emmy from Bellville, OnSaddest Mariah Carey song ever.
  • Kelsey from Sandusky, Ohmariah carey is one of my favorite singers especially the song we belong together
  • Lamarr from New Castle, PaMariah Carey is awesome,the song has so much meaning
  • Zack from New Castle, United Kingdomthis songs anthem stands the test of time. a lover who went away, arranged marriage and a runaway bride yep deffintley a classic but it does show that you should follow your heart in life in marry the person that loves you no matter what anyone says
  • Mary from New Castle, Paits a very cute songggg! girls feel like this when their bf breaks up with them!
  • Ally from New Castle, Pasike. this song is about heart break and how mariah believes that her and her ex belong together and not split apart.
  • Eric from Los Angeles, Nvyeah...sing it to me baby....got cha' back.....ain't too proud to beg,,,,
  • Courtney from Salt Lake City, UtWow...I can totally relate to this song right now. My soul mate (so I thought) is getting married in a month and when he told me the news I just cried and cried. I have been fighting to win him back for four years now (I did break his heart and that's my biggest regret in life.) Anyway, I do relate and obviously that's a main reason why I love the song. Maybe on his wedding day I should go and see if he comes "running" out in the crowd to me like Mariah did in the music video?
  • Marine from Stanton, American Samoathis song is ok
  • Michaela from Brooklyn, NyCome on guys!don't you all aree with me that her song 'Don't Forget About Us'Is better?yeah it is!
  • Elmer from Honolulu, Hithe best song of 2005....
  • Lisa from Fort Worth, Txawesome song for me in karaoke.....all mariahs songs are great
  • Katy from Portland, OrI love this song. It is a really romantic, nice song to sing to your ex. This describes me and this one boy. Sometimes I get emotional when I sing it and start to long for his company again but I know I can't have him. So songs like this and other ones by Mariah Carey, like, "can't live if living is without you" help me make it through. I also like "all I've ever wanted".
  • Brittany from Sierra Vista, Azthis song was me and my ex boy friends song
  • Spencer from West Milford, NjMariah Carey is awesome
  • Spencer from West Milford, NjShes soo plastic....but i love the song
  • Charlette from Budapest, HungaryMariah Carey isn't just a greatest singer, she's a great songwriter/lyricist.
  • Mark from Makati City, OtherThis alone will make Mariah THE artist to beat for the coveted Artist of the Decade award.
  • Reese from Calgary, CanadaI don't care how many times I hear this song, I NEVER get tired of it! It's just such a beautiful song. When I was dating my boyfriend-at-the-time, she asked me "so do you guys sing this song to eachother?" and I'm just like "Uh, NO! This a break-up song...not a 'while-were-together' song, duh!" and she just shut right up, lol
  • Sloba from Hamilton, Canadawe belong together is an amazing song!! she definetly has the biggest comeback of all time!! shes already tied Elvis Presly with 17 #1 hits and for sure will beat the Beattle with 20. once she beats them, she willl b at the top for a good 20 years. the mimi album is amazing especially we belong together and dont forget about us. i love you mariah xoxoxox
