The Hit Co.《At Seventeen》[MP3_LRC]

[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com  [00:08.25]I learned the truth at seventeen [00:12.32]That love was meant for beauty queens [00:16.53]And high school girls with clear skinned smiles [00:20.69]Who married young and then retired. [00:27.24]The valentines I never knew [00:31.62]The Friday night charades of youth [00:35.74]Were spent on one more beautiful [00:39.64]At seventeen I learned the truth. [00:46.05]And those of us with ravaged faces [00:50.77]Lacking in the social graces [00:54.15]Desperately remained at home [00:57.62]Inventing lovers on the phone [01:01.12]Who called to say come dance with me [01:06.37]And murmured vague obscenities [01:10.20]It isn't all it seems [01:12.83]At seventeen. [01:16.55]A brown eyed girl in hand me downs [01:20.88]Whose name I never could pronounce [01:24.49]Said, Pity please the ones who serve [01:28.81]They only get what they deserve. [01:35.07]The rich relationed hometown queen [01:39.36]Married into what she needs [01:42.59]A guarantee of company [01:46.76]And haven for the elderly. [01:54.15]Remember those who win the game [01:58.29]Lose the love they sought to gain [02:01.96]Indebentures of quality [02:05.60]And dubious integrity. [02:09.40]Their small town eyes will gape at you [02:13.67]In dull surprise when payment due [02:18.08]Exceeds accounts received [02:20.79]At seventeen. [02:31.96]To those of us who know the pain [02:36.46]Of valentines that never came, [02:40.72]And those whose names were never called [02:44.52]When choosing sides for basketball. [02:50.73]It was long ago and far away [02:55.34]The world was younger than today [02:59.33]And dreams were all they gave for free [03:03.06]To ugly duckling girls like me. [03:09.49]We all play the game and when we dare [03:13.53]To cheat ourselves at solitaire [03:17.38]Inventing lovers on the phone [03:21.20]Repenting other lives unknown [03:24.69]That call and say, come dance with me [03:29.03]And murmur vague obscenities [03:33.89]At ugly girls like me [03:36.47]At seventeen.
