you belong with me (marius pontmercy)

[jondrette]

You wrote a letter to your girlfriend, she's Cosette,
She's heading off to someplace-- I forget,
She doesn't get your income like I do.

I'm in your room, it's a typical Tuesday night,
I'm speaking' in the argot she doesn't like,
And she'll never know your awkward like I do.

But she wears long skirts, I wear britches,
She's educated and I'll steal your riches
Dreamin' bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who really wants you,
been here all the long so why can't you seeeeee?
You belong with meeeee
and the ABC

Walkin' the streets to you, dreamin' all my dreams,
I can't help thinking' I need you by any means,
Laughin' on the park bench thinking' to myself,
every day I'm learning.

The Amis' got a barricade and shit is goin' down,
They haven't seen you in a while, but you should buckle down,
You say fine, my plan is overwrought
Get outta here 'cause you might get shot

She wears a black dress, I wear chemises
I watched her sob when my father she displeases.
Dreamin' bout the day when you wake up and find,
at the barricade, our deaths are intertwined.

If you couldn't see that I'm the one who really wants you,
Watching all along, so why can't you see?
You will die with me.

Standin' by, waiting for the moment,
all this time how could you not know that
liberté,
Egalité,
Fraternité.

Oh I remember I'm walking' past her house in the middle of the night,
I'm the one who lead you here, as you sat and watched her cry,
I know all your favorite books and your Napoleon wet dream
I think I know we're going to die, won't you just kiss me

Can't you see that I'm the one who really loves you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me.

Standing by, waiting for the French corps,
Hoping they will shoot at me,
France won't be freeee,
but you'll die with me


Did you ever think just maybe,
Mr. Pontmercyyyy
You should die with me.
