Ugly Duckling

Verse 1:

I remember as a young child
I always styled
Until I learnt the truth
That ugly duckling girls like me
No matter, how hard we smiled
Love was for; Slim, pale or mixed girls

Verse 2:

As time went by
I decided to hide
My true self, deep inside
The inner beauty
The youth couldn't see
Just fat, brown
Girls like me

Chorus:

All those moments
I'd look up, at the sky
Wondering why?
Every time I'd try, with my
Little wings
I just couldn't fly
And I, would always cry (mmmhhh x2)

Verse 3:

All the kids would hang about
But when I, was around
I'd give them doubt
I spent time alone, at school
Wondering why
No one could see
The beauty in me

Verse 4:

To all who know the pain
No matter, how hard we tried
Love was a losing game
The sad feeling, of not being called
When choosing sides for netball (mmmhh, mmmhh)

Chorus:

All those moments
I'd look up, at the sky
Wondering why?
Every time I'd try, with my
Little wings
I just couldn't fly
And I, would always cry

Instrumental:

Bridge:

As years went by
I still couldn't see why
The inner beauty deep inside
Couldn't be, recognised (recognised)

Chorus:

All those moments
I'd look up, at the sky (at the sky)
Wondering why? (Wondering why?)
Every time, I'd try
With my, little wings
I just couldn't fly
And I, would always cry (would always cry)
