Something There

There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before.

She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No, it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before.

New, and a bit alarming!
Who'd have ever thought that this could be!
True, that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.

Well, who'd have thought!
Well, bless my soul!
Well, who'd have known?
Well, who indeed!
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

It's so peculiar
Wait and see We'll, wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.

'Ere*, perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.
