The Ugly Couple Song - Run River North

I was never pretty

Not even as a child

These gaps between my teeth

They showed up when I smiled

My hair always stood straight up

Like it was terrified to fall

In school it wasn't friends

Or charisma that I lacked

But in elementary pictures

They always put me in the back

And I wasn't tall

Oh these guns of mine never did arrive

Didn't matter what I'd lift

My acne was invinsible

My dandruff was no gift

My voice was high as a lady's

And it's still that way today

But you know I'm glad I waited

That is, I was made to wait

'Cause if'n I'd been taken

I would have missed the best date in the world

She's got a heart that's bigger than her hair

She might never be a model but who cares

She's one cloud and some wings from bein' an angel

And who knows we might make

Something beautiful

Well I have reached maturity

Finally grew into my fro

I guess my ears they missed the news

'Cause they just keep a growin'

I have some great, great dance moves

They never seem to move the girls

But I always hope I'd find the one

Who'd really digged my look

And one night at the comic store

We both grabbed the same book

One about dragons

Well I met her down at Charley's

She spilled her drink on me

She laughed and said that wasn't usually

How she liked her tea

And somehow we got caught up in an evenin'

Full of kisses and romancin'

It wasn't really her perfume

That made me think her sweet

But more how she didn't mind

Me stepping on her feet

When we were dancin'

She's got a laugh that's louder than her pants

She might never walk a runway or do a pole dance

She's one cloud and some wings from bein' an angel

And who knows we might make

Something beautiful

My friends have all been telling me

I ain't looked this good in years

Nothing like a woman

Make you wash behind your ears

She calls me stinky

I call her ferret face or MO

But it ain't all fun and pet names

No, we've been known to fight

About whose better lookin'

But it never lasts all night

On we go

She's got a smile that's brighter than her nails

She might never win a pageant as a female

She's mine and we might some day

Have a little one of our own

And who knows we might make

Something beautiful
