Beautiful woman

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 a question
And you would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
My eyes would fill with water inside and burn, oh yes I did

Hold me girl, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh yeah
Hold me girl, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh hold me girl

There was a boy who used to sit beside you
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 Hold me girl, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh yeah

I was the only one who offered to carry your books
Who took all his tears and laughter, the dirty looks
Cos I saw then what they see now
They all wanna ask you for a date
They don’t know how, they don’t know how

Hold me girl, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh hold me girl
Hold me girl, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh hold me girl

Oh, oh, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh hold me girl
Oh, oh, you used to be so lonely
You’re a beautiful woman, oh hold me girl
