Lyrics Homely Girl

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 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 your 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, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd liked 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, homely girl

I was the only one who offered to carry your books
I took all the stares and laughter, the dirty looks
'Cause I saw then, what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date and don't know how

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
