I Belong was the United Kingdom's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965 in Naples performed by Kathy Kirby.
This song, believe it or not, is the most successful song under the Curse of Number Two (the second slot in the running order is believed to be "cursed"), which the United Kingdom would very nearly match again, in 2002. Despite its success in the hall that night, it remains a victim of the curse.
On the night of the Contest, it was performed following the Netherlands and preceding Spain. At the close of voting, it finished in second place with 26 points.
Lyrics[]
I belong, I belong, I belong
Since half my life, my heart's been sleepin'
For all this time, my love's been keepin'
But now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong
At first, I thought - just one more lover
But then I found why he's like no other
And now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong
Too many hours slipped away
Too many loves came my way
But they only broke my heart in two
While it needed someone just like you
At last you came, and from now on
The two of us would be as one
Yes, now my heart has recovered
From past affairs that turned wrong
All my dreams are uncovered
I belong, I belong, I belong
I belong
