  • Ugly sung by Sugababes
    "People made me feel like life was unfair
    And I did things that made me ashamed...
    But there will always be the one who will say
    Something bad to make them feel great...
    Everybody talks bad about somebody
    And never realises how it affects somebody
    And you bet it won't be forgotten..."
