[00:16.57] | I learned the truth at seventeen |
[00:20.26] | That love was meant for beauty queens |
[00:24.05] | And high school girls with clear siknned smiles |
[00:28.35] | Who married young and then retired |
[00:36.03] | The Valentines I never knew |
[00:39.81] | The Friday night charades of youth |
[00:44.00] | Were spent on one more beautiful |
[00:49.39] | At seventeen I learned the truth |
[00:55.88] | And those of us with ravaged faces |
[00:59.67] | Lacking in the social graces |
[01:04.26] | Desperately remained at home |
[01:07.45] | Inventing lovers on the phone |
[01:11.45] | Who called to say come dance with me |
[01:16.54] | And murmured vague obscenities |
[01:20.52] | It isn't all it seems at seventeen |
[01:27.31] | A brown-eyed girl in hand me downs |
[01:31.20] | Whose name I never could pronounce |
[01:35.49] | Said pity please the ones who serve |
[01:39.58] | They only get what they deserve |
[01:46.27] | And the rich relationed home town queen |
[01:50.85] | Marries into what she needs |
[01:54.74] | With a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly |
[02:06.42] | Remember those who with the game |
[02:10.91] | Lose the love they sought to gain |
[02:14.31] | In debentures of quality and dubious integrity |
[02:22.18] | The small town eyes would gape at you in dull surprise |
[02:27.97] | When payment due exceeds accounts received at seventeen |
[03:21.35] | To those of us who knew the pain |
[03:25.04] | Of Valentines that never came |
[03:29.23] | And those whose names were never called |
[03:33.62] | When choosing sides for basketball |
[03:39.91] | It was long ago and far away |
[03:44.69] | The world was younger than today |
[03:49.58] | And dreams were all they gave for free |
[03:54.27] | To ugly duckling girls like me |
[03:59.97] | We all played the game and when we dared |
[04:04.85] | To cheat ourselves at solitaire |
[04:08.65] | Inverting lovers on the phone |
[04:12.34] | Repenting other lives unknown |
[04:16.42] | They call and say come dance with me |
[04:20.81] | And murmur vague obscenities |
[04:24.70] | At ugly girls like me-at seventeen |
