Homely Girl Lyrics - Live At Montreux 2002 - Ub40

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 

Ooh 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
