You Belong to Me
Capturing Hearts: The Unspoken Bonds in 'You Belong to Me'
Lyrics
Why'd you tell me this
Questioning why the speaker was informed of something
While you look for my reaction
Expressing curiosity about the observer's reaction
What do you need to know
Inquiring about the information needed
Don't you know I'll always be the one
Asserting that the speaker will always be there
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
Stating that proving beauty to strangers is unnecessary
I've got lovin' eyes of my own
Claiming to possess eyes filled with love
You belong to me
Declaring ownership or a strong connection
In this life
Emphasizing belonging in the context of life
Anyone could tell
Indicating that it's apparent to anyone
Any fool can see who you need
Stating that even a foolish person can see the needed person
I know you all too well
Claiming to know the person well
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
Reiterating that proving beauty to strangers isn't necessary
I've got lovin' eyes and I can tell
Asserting the ability to recognize beauty through loving eyes
You belong to me
Repeating the claim of belonging
Tell him you were foolin'
Suggesting deception or pretending
You belong to me
Reaffirming the sense of possession or belonging
You belong to me
Repeating the assertion of ownership or connection
Tell him he's a stranger
Advising to inform someone else that they were deceived
You belong to me
Reiterating the strong sense of belonging
