[00:16.51]I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:21.58]That love was meant for beauty queens
[00:25.76]And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:30.05]Who married young and then retired
[00:37.12]The valentines I never knew
[00:42.50]The Friday night charades of youth
[00:46.53]Were spent on one more beautiful
[00:50.65]At seventeen I learned the truth
[00:57.87]And those of us with ravaged faces
[01:03.81]Lacking in the social graces
[01:07.50]Desperately remained at home
[01:10.65]Inventing lovers on the phone
[01:14.71]Who called to say come dance with me
[01:19.83]And murmured vague obscenities
[01:24.69]It isn't all it seems
[01:27.43]At seventeen
[01:31.51]A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:36.62]Whose name I never could pronounce
[01:40.44]Said pity please the ones who serve
[01:44.62]They only get what they deserve
[01:51.80]The rich relationed hometown queen
[01:56.79]Married into what she needs
[02:00.33]A guarantee of company
[02:05.26]And haven for the elderly
[02:12.24]Remember those who win the game
[02:17.03]Lose the love they sought to gain
[02:21.17]Indebentures of quality
[02:25.24]And dubious integrity
[02:30.27]Their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:33.44]In dull surprise when payment due
[02:39.48]Exceeds accounts received
[02:42.10]At seventeen
[03:44.10]To those of us who know the pain
[03:49.49]Of valentines that never came
[03:53.72]And those whose names were never called
[03:57.77]When choosing sides for basketball
[04:04.66]It was long ago and far away
[04:10.24]The world was younger than today
[04:14.39]And dreams were all they gave for free
[04:18.55]To ugly duckling girls like me
[04:25.25]We all play the game and when we dare
[04:30.12]To cheat ourselves at solitaire
[04:34.24]Inventing lovers on the phone
[04:38.40]Repenting other lives unknown
[04:43.15]That call and say come dance with me
[04:47.65]And murmur vague obscenities
[04:52.07]At ugly girls like me
[04:55.36]At seventeen
