Homely girl you used to be so lonely
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Aha, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
The teacher would ask the questions
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
Aha, you used to be so lonely
But somehow you never got your turn
To carry your books
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
Who'd like to hold that place his whole life through
Oh yes I did
The dirty looks
I was the only one who offered
And you, would always raise your hand
They don't know how, they don't know how
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Aha, you used to be so lonely
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
Oooh you were beautiful to me
(Oh ooo)
Took all the stares and laughter
You're a beautiful woman, oh homely girl
But now they'd give all they learnt in school
"You looked better in the dark"
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did
To be somewhere in the dark with you
They all want to ask you for a date
'Cause I saw then what they see now
