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, oh yeah, 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 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 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 Took all the stares and laughter with the dirty looks 'Cause I saw then what they see now They don't know how, they 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 Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely You're a beautiful woman, homely girl Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely You're a beautiful woman, homely girl Ah, ha, you used to be so lonely You're a beautiful woman
