It must have broken your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
You looked better in the dark
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you, oh, whoa-hoo
The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh, yes, you 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
Ooh, 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, and the dirty looks
'Cause 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
(Ha-ha) you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh, homely girl
(Ha-ha) you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh, homely girl
(Ha-ha) you used to be so lonely
