Homely Girl

It must have broke your poor little heart When the boys used to say, You looked better in the dark. Oooh but now they'd give all they learnt in school To be somewhere in the dark with you (Oh yes they would) You know the teacher would ask the questions And you, would always raise your hand Oooh but somehow you never got your turn And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (Oh yes I did) (Chorus) Homely girl, She was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah There was a boy who used to sit beside you Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through Oooh you were beautiful to me You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did I was the only one who offered To carry your books Took all the stares and laughter With the dirty looks But I saw then what they see now They all want to ask you for a date They don't know how, they don't know how (Chorus) Homely girl, She was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah Oooh first they want a chance to hold you Then they want a chance to try to control you Oh no, don't you know I got to say it
