I've told you oncenow you should know

The reason that I'm coming down.

There ain't no time to repeat again;

Just need to bring it around.



We had a beautiful thing going

You couldn't see things my way.

We had a beautiful thing going

Something just got in our way.



And I told you once that it was rough.

I looked on you as my friend

Because that did not seem to be good enough

And now it's time to begin.



We've got a beautiful thing going

I hope that's the way it will stay.

We've got a beautiful thing going

Nothing can stand in our way.
