《At Seventeen(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] At seventeen

[00:00:10] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:14] That love was meant for beauty queens

[00:00:19] And high school girls with clear siknned smiles

[00:00:23] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:29] The valentines i never knew

[00:00:33] The friday night charades of youth

[00:00:37] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:41] At seventeen i learned the truth

[00:00:47] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:51] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:55] Desperately remained at home

[00:00:59] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:01:02] Who called to say come dance with me"

[00:01:07] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:12] It isn't all it seems at seventeen

[00:01:19] A brown-eyed girl in hand me downs

[00:01:23] Whose name i never could pronounce

[00:01:27] Said"pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:31] They only get what they deserve"

[00:01:37] And the rich relationed home town queen

[00:01:41] Marries into what she needs

[00:01:46] With a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly

[00:01:56] Remember those who with the game

[00:02:00] Lose the love they sought to gain

[00:02:03] In debentures of quality and dubious integrity

[00:02:11] The small town eyes would gape at you in dull surprise

[00:02:17] When payment due exceeds accounts received at seventeen

[00:03:20] To those of us who knew the pain

[00:03:25] Of valentines that never came

[00:03:28] And those whose names were never called

[00:03:33] When choosing sides for basketball

[00:03:39] It was long ago and far away

[00:03:43] The world was younger than today

[00:03:48] And dreams were all they gave for free

[00:03:52] To ugly duckling girls like me

[00:03:57] We all played the game and when we dared

[00:04:01] To cheat ourselves at solitaire

[00:04:05] Inverting lovers on the phone

[00:04:09] Repenting other lives unknown

[00:04:13] They call and say "come dance with me"

[00:04:18] And murmur vague obscenities

[00:04:22] At ugly girls like me--at seventeen
