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
