Music video by UB40 performing Homely Girl.
For all things 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
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
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

It was released as a single on November 6, 1989, in the United Kingdom. This cover reached the top 10 in the UK, France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
