Ub 40 lyrics homely girl lyrics

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 learnt in school

 To be somewhere in the dark with you 

 

 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 

 

 Chorus 

 

 Homely girl, you used to be so lonely

 You're a beautiful woman oh yes you are

 Homely girl you used to be so lonely

 You're a beautiful woman oh yeah 

 

 There was a boy who used to sit beside you

 Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through

 Oooh you were beautiful to me

 You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did 

 

 Chorus 

 

 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 

 

 Chorus 

 

 Homely girl, you used to be so lonely

 You're a beautiful woman oh yeah

 Homely girl you used to be so lonely

 You're a beautiful woman, ooh yea, ooh hoo

 You're a beautiful woman
