[00:00:07] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:11] That love was meant for beauty queens

[00:00:15] And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

[00:00:19] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:23] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:26] The friday night charades of youth

[00:00:30] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:34] At seventeen I learned the truth

[00:00:38] Those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:42] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:46] Desperately remained at home

[00:00:49] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:00:53] Who called to say come dance with me

[00:00:57] And murmured vague obscenities

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

[00:01:09] For those of us who know the pain

[00:01:13] Of valentines that never came

[00:01:16] And those whose names were never called

[00:01:20] When choosing sides for basketball

[00:01:24] It was long ago and far away

[00:01:28] The world was younger than today

[00:01:31] When dreams were all they gave for free

[00:01:35] To ugly duckling girls like me
