Verse
G Em
I was just a poor young little ugly thing

But the only way to learn is to get yourself burned
G Em

I gave my hand to a man, he put the ring on me
G Em
He couldn't understand why he wasn't just like me

C
We looked at the same guys
D
That's when I realized
[Chorus]

No hands will hold me

I'll always be lonely
