Chi-Lites - Homely Girl download song

I have always loved this record from when it was first released, there's something touching about a man who sensitively loves a woman

Sounds as good today as it did way back then

It must have broke your poor little heart When the boys used to say, You looked better in the dark. Oooh but now they'd give all they learnt in school To be somewhere in the dark with you (Oh yes they would) You know the teacher would ask the questions And you, would always raise your hand Oooh but somehow you never got your turn And my eyes would fill with water, inside I'd burn (Oh yes I did) Homely girl, She was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be 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 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 want to ask you for a date They don't know how, they don't know how Homely girl, She was so lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yes lonely girl Homely girl you used to be lonely You're a beautiful woman oh yeah Oooh first they want a chance to hold you Then they want a chance to try to control you Oh no, don't you know I got to say it.

I wish to dedicate this song to Robert Djemil who was in my class in Clissold Park School in the 70s in London. He used to tell me that I was the ugliest girl he had ever seen. Robert, it took me YEARS to get over your cruelty. I am now happily married and my husband thinks that I am beautiful.....I wonder if you are still as ugly on the inside as you were back then? I hope that you are a nicer Man than you were a boy.

Instant classic and barely cracked the top 40. hard to believe. must young men can relate to this story. We ignored girls that were ugly and when the blossomed we were all over them.

When I was younger I was always turned on by girls that wore glasses when it wasn't cool. In other words nerdy girls lit my fire!

this is a real story in a song wow

Lovely song to bring back the memories of music and friends of the 1970s.

One of the greatest 70s soul song

Mr. Eugene Record really knew how to get to the heart, his music lives on R.I.P

No one can write and arrange love songs like Eugene Record. The vocal arrangements are close to perfection. The Chi-lites' songs never degraded women or anyone else. Pure soul music at it's best. Wish we had music like this today.

I'm loving the reunion with my childhood sweetheart; not letting her get away again. Bells are ringing!

Cannot get any better than this!.

They just don’t make music like this anymore.

so many of us guys made this mistake..second chance i got, i married her before she could get her braces off..smartest thing i ever did;

man this song is so true everybody knows someone like this

"...you look better in the dark" LoL, cold as ice
