《At Seventeen》歌词

[00:00:00] At Seventeen - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:08] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:12] That love was meant for beauty queens

[00:00:16] And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

[00:00:20] Who married young and then retired.

[00:00:27] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:31] The Friday night charades of youth

[00:00:35] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:39] At seventeen I learned the truth.

[00:00:46] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:50] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:54] Desperately remained at home

[00:00:57] Inventing lovers on the phone

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

[00:01:04] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:10] It isn't all it seems

[00:01:12] At seventeen.

[00:01:16] A brown eyed girl in hand me downs

[00:01:20] Whose name I never could pronounce

[00:01:24] Said, Pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:28] They only get what they deserve.

[00:01:35] The rich relationed hometown queen

[00:01:39] Married into what she needs

[00:01:42] A guarantee of company

[00:01:46] And haven for the elderly.

[00:01:54] Remember those who win the game

[00:01:58] Lose the love they sought to gain

[00:02:01] Indebentures of quality

[00:02:05] And dubious integrity.

[00:02:09] Their small town eyes will gape at you

[00:02:13] In dull surprise when payment due

[00:02:17] Exceeds accounts received

[00:02:20] At seventeen.

[00:02:32] To those of us who know the pain

[00:02:36] Of valentines that never came,

[00:02:40] And those whose names were never called

[00:02:44] When choosing sides for basketball.

[00:02:50] It was long ago and far away

[00:02:55] The world was younger than today

[00:02:59] And dreams were all they gave for free

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

[00:03:09] We all play the game and when we dare

[00:03:13] To cheat ourselves at solitaire

[00:03:17] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:03:21] Repenting other lives unknown

[00:03:25] That call and say, come dance with me

[00:03:28] And murmur vague obscenities

[00:03:33] At ugly girls like me

[00:03:36] At seventeen.
