You Belong with Me Lyrics

Cover art for You Belong with Me lyrics by Taylor Swift

Why cant boys see when some one is perfect for them? I mean, why do they go for the girls who are jerks?

@kayforever If the guy doesn't like the girl back, then is she really "perfect" for him? And what you say applies to girls/women, too---girls like the narrator of this song often have guys who think the same things about them ("I'm perfect for her, why does she like that jerk who doesn't even like her back?"). As the J. Geils song goes, "You love her / but she loves him / and he loves someone else / You just can't win----LOVE STINKS."
