Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
We'll wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
You know perhaps there is something there that wasn't there before
There may be something there that wasn't there before
The song "Something There" from the movie "Beauty and the Beast" is a turning point in the story where Belle starts to see the Beast in a different way. The first few lines of the song capture the essence of the change that takes place in her mind. She sings about how the Beast, who was once mean and unrefined, has now become dear to her. She wonders why she didn't notice that sweetness in him before.
The next few lines are sung by the Beast where he also acknowledges the change that is taking place. He sees Belle looking at him in a new light when they touch and starts to ignore his doubts about whether she could ever look at him that way. The chorus repeats the idea that something new and alarming is happening between them, but they are both willing to wait and see where it leads.
The rest of the song is sung by Belle and the other characters, where they speculate on the possibility of something growing between the Beast and Belle. The song ends on a hopeful note, with Belle admitting that perhaps there is something there that wasn't there before.

Disney movies in the 90s it don't get better than that and all of them had amazing music to them.
