“You Belong To Me” is a song from Anita’s third album Giving You The Best That I Got, not to be confused with the other “You Belong To Me” which appeared on her fifth album Rhythm of Love in 1994, which is a cover of the Carly Simon song.
I need you near me, need you to be there
I can't let go of you now
Nobody loves you like I can love you
I'll just keep holdin' on somehow
I give nothing less without any regrets
When I'm staking my claim to your heart
You belong, you belong to me
You know my love for you is guaranteed, baby
You belong, you belong to me, baby
Now and forever it will always be
You'll know where to find me, you'll know I'll be there
Baby, I'm hooked on your life
Then I'm reminded, your girl is callin'
I play my part on the sidelines
My role is to wait and anticipate
That moment that you walk through my door, my door
You belong, you belong to me
You know this love of mine is guaranteed
You belong, you belong to me, baby
And forever it will always be
Maybe I have no right
Child, but when your arms are holdin' me
Your kisses tell me, all I want to know
I've got one problem, I can't let you go, oh, no
Your kisses tells me all I want to know
I've got this problem, babe, and I can't let you go
You belong, you belong to me, baby, baby
You know this love of mine is guaranteed, darlin'
You belong, you belong to me, baby, baby
And forever it will always be
You belong, you belong to me
You belong, you belong to me
You belong, you belong to me
You belong, you belong to me
