Lyrics UB40 - Homely Girl

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say, you look better
  in the dark.
But now they'd give all they learned in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
  Oh, yes, they would

The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your
  hand
But somehow you never got your turn
My eyes were filled with water, inside I burned
  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
Oooh, 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
    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!!!

  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

  Ah-haow, you used to be so lonely
  You're a beautiful woman, oh, homely girl
  ...
