About You Belong to Me

"You Belong to Me" is a song written by American singer-songwriters Carly Simon and Michael McDonald. Originally recorded by McDonald's rock group The Doobie Brothers for their seventh studio album, Livin' on the Fault Line (1977), the song was made famous by Simon herself when she recorded it for her seventh studio album, Boys in the Trees (1978). Released as the album's lead single, her version reached the top ten of the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking at #6, and remained on the chart for 18 weeks. Simon received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Female Vocalist in 1979. A live version of the song from The Doobie Brothers' 1983 album Farewell Tour would later chart on the Pop Singles chart at #79 in August 1983. Simon's version has been featured on the soundtracks to the romantic comedy films Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) and Little Black Book (2004), as well as being featured on many compilation albums of her work.  more »

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know I'll always be your girl

You don't have to prove to me 
You're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes
Of my own

[Chorus]
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her you were fooling
You belong to me
You don't even know her
You belong to me
Tell her that I love you
You belong to me

You belong to me
Can it be, honey 
You're not sure

You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book
Locked the door

You don't have to prove to me 
That you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own, of my own
And I can tell 
I can tell darling

[Chorus x2]

You belong to me
You belong to me          
You belong to me
Baby, I really love you
You belong to me
Tell her, tell her 

Tell her she don't know you
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
Cause you belong to me
