It must've broke
your poor little heart
when the boys
used to say
You look better
in the dark
But now they'd give
all they learned
in school to
be somewhere
In the dark
with you
Oh yes they would
The teacher would
ask a question
And you would
always raise
you hand
But somehow you
never got your turn
My eyes would
fill with water.
Inside I'd burn
Oh yes I did
Homely girl,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
Oh homely girl
Homely girl,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
Oh homely girl
There was a
boy who used to
sit beside you
Who'd like to hold
that place his
whole life through
Oh you were
beautiful to me
You had a heart
no one could
ever see
Oh yes you did
Homely girl,
you 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
The dirty looks
'Cos 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
Homely girl,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
Oh homely girl
Homely girl,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
Oh homely girl
Ah ha,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
Oh homely girl
Ah ha,
you used to
be so lonely
You're a
beautiful woman
