[00:01.544]at  seventeen
[00:03.602]一峰至爱Janis  Ian
[00:07.496]i  learned  the  truth  at  seventeen
[00:11.507]that  love  was  meant  for  beauty  queens
[00:14.446]and  high  school  girls  with  clear  siknned  smiles
[00:20.461]who  married  young  and  then  retired
[00:23.491]the  valentines  i  never  knew
[00:31.149]the  friday  night  charades  of  youth
[00:35.885]were  spent  on  one  more  beautiful
[00:39.571]at  seventeen  i  learned  the  truth
[00:47.37]and  those  of  us  with  ravaged  faces
[00:50.781]lacking  in  the  social  graces
[00:54.824]desperately  remained  at  home
[00:58.707]inventing  lovers  on  the  phone
[01:02.552]who  called  to  say  come  dance  with  me"
[01:07.197]and  murmured  vague  obscenities
[01:11.128]it  isn't  all  it  seems  at  seventeen
[01:17.987]a  brown-eyed  girl  in  hand  me  downs
[01:22.419]whose  name  i  never  could  pronounce
[01:25.736]said"pity  please  the  ones  who  serve,
[01:30.499]they  only  get  what  they  deserve"
[01:36.941]and  the  rich  relationed  home  town  queen
[01:41.496]marries  into  what  she  needs
[01:44.707]with  a  guarantee  of  company  and  haven  for  the  elderly
[01:56.526]remember  those  who  with  the  game
[02:00.397]lose  the  love  they  sought  to  gain
[02:03.981]in  debentures  of  quality  and  dubious  integrity
[02:11.720]the  small  town  eyes  would  gape  at  you  in  dull  surprise
[02:18.24]when  payment  due  exceeds  accounts  received  at  seventeen
[03:19.514]to  those  of  us  who  knew  the  pain
[03:23.535]of  valentines  that  never  came
[03:27.994]and  those  whose  names  were  never  called
[03:31.685]when  choosing  sides  for  basketball
[03:38.544]it  was  long  ago  and  far  away
[03:42.682]the  world  was  younger  than  today
[03:47.365]and  dreams  were  all  they  gave  for  free
[03:51.02]to  ugly  duckling  girls  like  me
[03:57.498]we  all  played  the  game  and  when  we  dared
[04:01.903]to  cheat  ourselves  at  solitaire
[04:05.631]inverting  lovers  on  the  phone
[04:09.376]repenting  other  lives  unknown
[04:12.933]they  call  and  say "come  dance  with  me"
[04:17.66]and  murmur  vague  obscenities
[04:21.872]at  ugly  girls  like  me--at  seventeen
