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 unsure I wonder why I didn't see it there before She glanced this way, I thought I saw But 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, we'll wait and see, a few days more There may be something there that wasn't there before You know, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before There may be something there that wasn't there before What's there, Mama? I'll tell you when you're older
