《At Seventeen》歌词

[00:00:04] 曲: Janis Lan 词: Janis Lan 编: Janis Lan
[00:00:08] I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:00:12] That love was meant for beauty queens
[00:00:17] And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:00:22] Who married young and then retired
[00:00:28] The valentines I never knew
[00:00:32] The Friday night charades of youth
[00:00:37] Were spent on one more beautiful
[00:00:41] At seventeen I learned the truth
[00:00:48] And those of us with ravaged faces
[00:00:53] Lacking in the social graces
[00:00:56] Desperately remained at home
[00:01:00] Inventing lovers on the phone
[00:01:04] Who called to say, "come dance with me"
[00:01:09] And murmur vague obscenities
[00:01:13] It isn't all it seems at seventeen
[00:01:19] A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs
[00:01:24] Whose name I never could pronounce said
[00:01:28] Pity, please, the ones who serve
[00:01:32] They only get what they deserve
[00:01:38] The rich-relationed home-town queen
[00:01:43] Marries into what she needs
[00:01:46] With a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly
[00:01:58] Remember those who win the game
[00:02:02] Lose the love they sought to gain
[00:02:06] In debentures of quality
[00:02:10] And dubious integrity
[00:02:13] Their small town eyes will gape at you in
[00:02:17] Dull surprise when payment due
[00:02:22] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
[00:03:22] To those of us who knew the pain
[00:03:26] Of valentines that never came
[00:03:30] And those whose names were never called
[00:03:34] When choosing sides for basketball
[00:03:41] It was long ago and far away
[00:03:45] The world was younger than today
[00:03:50] And dreams were all they gave for free
[00:03:54] To ugly duckling girls like me
[00:04:00] We all play the game and when we dare
[00:04:04] To cheat ourselves at solitaire
[00:04:08] Inventing lovers on the phone
[00:04:11] Repenting other lives unknown
[00:04:15] That call and say, "come dance with me"
[00:04:20] And murmur vague obscenities
[00:04:24] At ugly girls like me, at seventeen
