I was never the pretty girl
I was never the homecoming queen
Never the one boys followed around
I was just the one who heard their secrets out
I was never the heartbreaker
Never the first one that you'd see
Never the girl you dreamt about
I was always just good old reliable me
I was never the fastest one
Never the one who made up to the top
Never the favorite
I was always the friend nobody regrets
I was never the bravest or the most sure
I was never the shyest or most demure
Never the mystery to unfurl
Never the pretty girl
But if you'll take a chance on a plain face
You'll find a heart that's up for the race
You'll find a head full of thoughts of love
You'll find a hand that will fit like a glove
And if you'll come back for a second look
You'll find a tender heart loneliness shook
You'll find eyes filled with the glow of you
You'll find us two
I was never the pretty girl
I was never the homecoming queen
Never the one boys followed around
I was just the one who heard their secrets out
I was never the bravest or the most sure
I was never the shyest or most demure
Never the mystery to unfurl
Never the pretty girl
I was never the homecoming queen
Never the one boys followed around
I was just the one who heard their secrets out
I was never the heartbreaker
Never the first one that you'd see
Never the girl you dreamt about
I was always just good old reliable me
I was never the fastest one
Never the one who made up to the top
Never the favorite
I was always the friend nobody regrets
I was never the bravest or the most sure
I was never the shyest or most demure
Never the mystery to unfurl
