[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
