Original Broadway Cast Recording Something There Lyrics

Belle:
There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
But now he's dear, and so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before

Mme. De La Grande Bouche:
Come along dearie.
Let's get you off those wet things.
Beast:
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
Beast:
Belle, I have something to show you.
But first, you have to close your eyes. It's a surprise!
Belle:
May I open them?
Beast:
Alright, alright. Now!
Belle:
I can't believe it!
I've never seen so many books in my whole life!
Beast:
You like it?
Belle:
It's wonderful!
Beast:
It's yours!
Belle:
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
Belle:
Oh, this is one of my favorites!
It's "King Arthur."
Have you ever read it?
Beast:
No.
Belle:
You don't know what you're missing.
I'd love to read this again.
Wait...you can read this first.
Beast:
No, that's alright
Belle:
No, really, you read it
Beast:
Oh, No, you...
Belle:
No, you
Beast:
No! I can't...
Belle:
You never learn to read?
Beast:
Only a little, and long ago
Belle:
Well, it just so happens that this is the perfect book to
read aloud. Come here, sit by me
Lumiere:
Well, who'd have thought?
Mrs Potts:
Well, bless my soul
Cogsworth:
Well, who'd have known?
Mrs Potts:
Well, who indeed?
Lumiere:
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Mrs Potts:
It's so peculiar. Wait and see
Lumiere and Cogsworth:
We'll wait and see
All three:
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
Cogsworth:
Perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before
Chip:
What?
Mrs Potts:
There may be something there that wasn't there before
Chip: What's there, Mama?
Mrs Potts: Ssh. I'll tell you when you're older.
Come along now. Let's give them some privacy...
Chip:
Mama?
Mrs Potts:
Yes, Chip
Chip:
Will I ever get to be a boy again?
Mrs Potts:
I hope so
Chip:
When will I know?
Mrs Potts:
Soon. If it's to be. It will be very soon now.
Come along, son.
Belle:
Knowing now, that this was indeed the legendary sword called
"Excalibur," Arthur tried to pull it from the stone.
He tried once to no avail. He tried a second time, but still,
he could not pull it out. Then, for the third time, Arthur
drew forth the sword...
Beast:
So that must mean he's the king!
Belle:
Wait and see
Beast:
I never knew books could do that
Belle:
Do what?
Beast:
Take me away from this place, make
me forget for a little while
Belle:
Forget?
Beast:
Who I...What I am...
Belle:
We have something in common, you know
Beast:
What is that?
Belle:
In the town where I come from, the people think I'm odd
Beast:
You?
Belle:
So, I know how it feels to be...different.
And I know how lonely that can be
Belle:
For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword, and there
arose from the people a great shout. Arthur is king.
Beast:
I told you so...
