"I Belong" is a song that served as the United Kingdom's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1965. Its music was written by singer Daniel Boone (credited under his real name, Peter Lee Sterling), and its lyrics were written by Phil Peters. It was performed at Eurovision by Kathy Kirby, where it came in 2nd place, losing to Luxembourg's "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", performed by France Gall.

Lyrics

The song tells of the joy of finding true love for the first time, after a string of bad relationships:

But now my heart has recovered

From past affairs that turned wrong

All my dreams are uncovered

I belong, I belong, I belong
