Why’d you tell me this
While you look for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don’t you know I’ll always be the one
You don’t have to prove to me you’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got lovin’ eyes of my own
You belong to me
In this life
Anyone could tell
Any fool can see who you need
I know you all too well
You don’t have to prove to me you’re beautiful to strangers
I’ve got lovin’ eyes and I can tell

You belong to me
Tell him you were foolin’
You belong to me
You belong to me
Tell him he’s a stranger
You belong to me
