UB40 - Homely Girl
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 yes, they would
The teacher would ask the 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 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 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, the dirty looks
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
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
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
You used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl...
