La Belle et la Bête

[Belle:] There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear

[Beast:] She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw

[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

[Lumiere:] Well, who'd have thought?
[Mrs Potts:] Well, bless my soul
[Cogsworth:] Well, who'd have known?...
