Beauty and the Beast
Lansbury David Ogden Stiers Orbach O'Hara Robby Benson Lyrics

There's something sweet and almost kind
Although he seemed rough, there was a certain charm in him.

But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
Despite his charming qualities, he was often rude and lacked elegance.

And now he's dear and so I'm sure
After getting to know him better, I realize he's become someone I care about deeply.

I wonder why I didn't see it there before
I question why I didn't see his good qualities earlier.

She glanced this way, I thought I saw
I caught her looking in my direction and thought I saw interest in her eyes.

And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
When we made physical contact, she did not react negatively.

No, it can't be, I'll just ignore
I deny the possibility of her having feelings for me and attempt to push the thought aside.

But then she's never looked at me that way before
I take note of the fact that she has never given me that kind of attention before.

New and a bit alarming
This situation is entirely new to me and is slightly concerning.

Who'd have ever thought that this could be
It is unexpected that I would develop feelings for someone like him.

True, that he's no Prince Charming
He doesn't fit the typical definition of a charming prince-like figure.

But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
I realize that there are qualities within him that I did not notice or appreciate before.

Well, who'd have thought?
This situation is something that is beyond what anyone would have expected.

Well, bless my soul
This turn of events is quite surprising and even shocking.

Well, who'd have known?
It is something that could not have been predicted.

Well, who indeed?
The unexpectedness of the situation leaves me questioning who could have known.

And who'd have guessed They'd come together on their own?
It is surprising that we ended up together without any outside influence or intervention.

It's so peculiar We'll wait and see
The situation is strange and uncertain, so we will have to see what will happen next.

A few days more
In just a few days, the situation may become clearer.

There may be something there that wasn't there before
It is possible that a new element or feeling has entered our relationship that was not present before.

You know perhaps there is something there that wasn't there before
It is suggested that there could be a new development that neither of them had noticed.
