It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
you looked better in the dark.
But now they d give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
The teacher would ask the questions
And youwould always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with waterinside I d burn
Chorus
Homely girlyou used to be so lonely
You re a beautiful woman oh yes you are
Homely girl you used to be so 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 seeoh yes you did
Chorus
Homely girlyou used to be so lonely
You re a beautiful woman oh homely girl
I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
And the dirty looks
Cause I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don t know howthey don t know how
Chorus
Homely girlyou used to be so lonely
You re a beautiful woman oh yeah
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You re a beautiful womanooh yeaooh hoo
You re a beautiful woman
