Homely Girl - George Nooks

Homely Girl - Various Artists
It must have broke
Your poor little heart
When the boys used to say
You look better in the dark
Oh, but now they'd give
All they learned in school
To be somewhere
In the dark with you
Oh, yes, they would
You know the teacher
Would ask a question
And you would always
Raise your hand
Oh, but somehow
You never got your turn and
My eyes would fill with water
Inside, I burned
Oh, yes, I did
Homely girl
She was so homely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, yeah (homely girl)
Homely girl
Used to be lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, yeah
There was a boy
Who used to sit beside you
Who liked 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
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 wanna ask you for a date
They don't know how
They don't know how
Homely girl
She was so homely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, yeah (homely girl)
Homely girl
Used to be lonely
You're a beautiful woman
Oh, yeah (homely girl)
(Homely girl)
First, they want
A chance to hold you
Then they want a chance to
Try to control you, but oh, no
Now don't you know
I got to say it
Homely girl
Used to be lonely
You're a beautiful woman
