Homemade

Riding the city bus on the way to school

Me and my two sisters and all the ridicule

The older girls on the back of the bus would laugh and call us names

They'd talk about our hair, our clothes and call us Homemade

See the not so good old days

Could make you weak or make you brave

And I've never been the most beautiful

No, I ain't never been the most popular

But it's amazing what love can do

It's amazing what a little love can do

Every thought and action is like a boomerang

What goes around will come back, baby, so careful what you say

And the little ugly ducklings are swans that got away

'Cause Cinderella stories, they still happen every day

See the not so good old days

Could make you weak or make you brave

And I've never been the most beautiful

No, I ain't never been the most popular

But it's amazing what love can do

It's amazing what a little love can do

See I bumped into a stranger just the other day

She said, "Can you spare a dollar, sista? My man, he ain't got paid"

And so I gave her what I had, then I recognized her face

She was the leader of the girls who used to call us Homemade

See the not so good old days

Could make you weak or make you brave and then I told her

See I have never been the most beautiful

And don't really care that I ain't never been the most popular

'Cause it's amazing what love will do

Now hang on, it's amazing what

Homemade love, what Homemade love will do

Yeah, mama said, "This is what Homemade love would do"
