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
