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.

repeat second chorus
