Release Me - John Holt

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

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

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 yeah

Homely girl you used to be so lonely

You`re a beautiful woman, ooh yea, ooh hoo

You`re a beautiful woman
