I've told you once, now 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.
