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

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

And here's a thought

Perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before

What, Mama?

There may be something there that wasn't there before

What is it? What's there?

I'll tell you when you're older

Okay, I'm older
