It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
"you look better in the dark"
But now they'd give all they learn 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 you turn
My eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (oh yes, I've been)

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 noone 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 offered to carry your books
Who took all the stares and laughters and dirty looks
But I saw then, what they see now
(They all wanna ask you for a dance)
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

Eehee
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl

Oohoo
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl

Aahaa
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
