It must've broke
your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
You look better in the dark...
Oh.., but now they'd give all
they learned in school
To be somewhere
in the dark with you
Oh yes they would
You know the teacher
would ask a question
And you would always
raise your hand
Oh.., but somehow
you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill
with water inside I'd burn
Oh yes I did...
Homely girl
You're a beautiful woman
Homely girl
Homely girl
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
Oh.., 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 wanna
ask you for a date
They don't know how
They don't know how...
Homely girl
You're a beautiful woman
Oh yeah
Homely girl
You're a beautiful woman
Oh yeah...
Oh first they didn't
want to know you
Now they want
to try to control you
You're a beautiful woman...
