Homely Girl Lyrics - Singles - The Chi-lites

It must have broke your poor little heart 

When the boys used to say, 

You looked better in the dark. 

Oooh but now they'd give all they learnt in school 

To be somewhere in the dark with you (Oh yes they would) 

You know the teacher would ask the questions 

And you, would always raise your hand 

Oooh but somehow you never got your turn 

And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (Oh yes I did) 

(Chorus) 

Homely girl, She was so lonely 

You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl 

Homely girl you used to be 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 

I was the only one who offered 

To carry your books 

Took all the stares and laughter 

With the dirty looks 

But 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, She was so lonely 

You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl 

Homely girl you used to be lonely 

You're a beautiful woman oh yeah 

Oooh first they want a chance to hold you 

Then they want a chance to try to control you 

Oh no, don't you know I got to say it
