《At 17》歌词

[00:00:00] At 17 (十七岁) - 马玉芬

[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

[00:00:25] The valentines I never knew

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

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

[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] Desp'rately remained at home

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

[00:01:01] Ian Janis

[00:01:03] Who called to say Come dance with me

[00:01:07] And murmered vague obscenities

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

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

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

[00:01:25] Said Pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:29] They only get what they deserve

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

[00:01:39] Marries 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] In debentures of quality

[00:02:05] And dubious integrity

[00:02:09] In dull surprise when payment due

[00:02:17] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen

[00:02:33] To those of us who knew 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 ducking 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

[00:03:30] And murmur vague obscenities

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