Jim Adams' Song Lyric Sunday gives us the chance to share familiar, and sometimes not so familiar, songs. This week the prompt is to find a song that may include, or reference, one of the following: Alluring, Beautiful, Charming, Graceful, Seductive

If you fancy sharing one of your favourite songs you can find out how to participate, and also listen to all the great entries, here.

This week we have The Broken Ones from the debut studio album, Red, by American singer-songwriter Dia Frampton, released on December 6, 2011.

This song is all about a girl taking on "broken ones" who have never been loved and have lots of faults.  She seems destined to repeat the process time and again because she sees a part of herself in them – the missing piece always trying to fit in!  She says "All your faults to me make you more beautiful."

"Perhaps she just feels obliged to fight for the underdog, and that's not a bad thing!

The Broken Ones

Dia Frampton

I know they've hurt you bad.
Wide, the scars you have.
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones,
All your faults to me make you more beautiful.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.

You don't have to drive,
With your headlights off.
It's a pocketknife,
Not a gift from god.
Don't you learn of love from the love they kept.
I will be your anchor slowly,
Step by step.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.

Maybe we can rip off the bandage.
Maybe you will see it for what it is.
Maybe we can burn this building,
Holding you in.

I can't help it,
I love the broken ones,
The ones who,
Need the most patching up.
The ones who've,
Never been loved,
Never been loved,
Never been loved.
And O maybe I see a part of me in them.
The missing piece always trying to fit in.
The shattered heart,
Hungry for a home.
No you're not alone,
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.
I love the broken ones.
