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

(spoken)
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 learned 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...
