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
