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 learned in school to be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh, yes they would
The teacher would ask a question
And you would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
My eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn
Oh, yes I did
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, oh yeah, homely girl
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who'd like 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
Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You're a beautiful woman, homely girl
I was the only one who offered to carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter with the dirty looks
'Cause I saw then what they see now
They don't know how, they don't know how
