[00:10]at seventeen
[00:16]i learned the truth at seventeen
[00:20]that love was meant for beauty queens
[00:24]and high school girls with clear siknned smiles
[00:28]who married young and then retired
[00:36]the valentines i never knew
[00:40]the friday night charades of youth
[00:44]were spent on one more beautiful
[00:49]at seventeen i learned the truth
[00:56]and those of us with ravaged faces
[01:00]lacking in the social graces
[01:04]desperately remained at home
[01:08]inventing lovers on the phone
[01:12]who called to say come dance with me"
[01:16]and murmured vague obscenities
[01:20]it isn’t all it seems at seventeen
[01:27]a brown-eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:31]whose name i never could pronounce
[01:35]said"pity please the ones who serve,
[01:40]they only get what they deserve"
[01:46]and the rich relationed home town queen
[01:50]marries into what she needs
[01:54]with a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly
[02:06]remember those who with the game
[02:10]lose the love they sought to gain
[02:14]in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:22]the small town eyes would gape at you in dull surprise
[02:29]when payment due exceeds accounts received at seventeen
[03:20]to those of us who knew the pain
[03:24]of valentines that never came
[03:29]and those whose names were never called
[03:33]when choosing sides for basketball
[03:40]it was long ago and far away
[03:44]the world was younger than today
[03:48]and dreams were all they gave for free
[03:53]to ugly duckling girls like me
[03:59]we all played the game and when we dared
[04:04]to cheat ourselves at solitaire
[04:08]inverting lovers on the phone
[04:12]repenting other lives unknown
[04:15]they call and say "come dance with me"
[04:20]and murmur vague obscenities
[04:24]at ugly girls like me--at seventeen
