Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It musta broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to sing
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
[Verse 2]
The teacher would ask a question
And you would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
Minds would fill with water, inside I burn
Oh, yes I did
[Verse 3]
Homely girl
Used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 4]
Homely girl
Used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 5]
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
He'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
[Verse 6]
Homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 7]
I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
The dirty looks
[Verse 8]
'Cause 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
[Verse 9]
Homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 10]
Homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 11]
Ah ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 12]
Ah ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, homely girl
[Verse 13]
Ah ha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman
