| [00:00.00] | 作曲 : Janis Ian |
| [00:01.00] | 作词 : Janis Ian |
| [00:11.630] | I learned the truth at seventeen |
| [00:15.670] | That love was meant for beauty queens |
| [00:19.930] | And high school girls with clear skinned smiles |
| [00:25.600] | Who married young and then retired |
| [00:31.350] | The valentines I never knew |
| [00:35.598] | The Friday night charades of youth |
| [00:40.880] | Were spent on one more beautiful |
| [00:44.338] | At seventeen I learned the truth |
| [00:47.189] | |
| [00:51.148] | And those of us with ravaged faces |
| [00:56.580] | Lacking in the social graces |
| [00:59.598] | Desperately remained at home |
| [01:03.128] | Inventing lovers on the phone |
| [01:06.978] | Who called to say, "come dance with me" |
| [01:12.880] | And murmur vague obscenities |
| [01:15.798] | It isn't all it seems at seventeen |
| [01:19.798] | |
| [01:22.529] | A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs |
| [01:27.160] | Whose name I never could pronounce said |
| [01:30.999] | Pity, please, the ones who serve |
| [01:35.138] | They only get what they deserve |
| [01:41.678] | The rich-relationed home-town queen |
| [01:46.128] | Marries into what she needs |
| [01:49.559] | With a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly |
| [01:56.577] | |
| [02:00.818] | Remember those who win the game |
| [02:05.348] | Lose the love they sought to gain |
| [02:09.490] | In debentures of quality |
| [02:12.988] | And dubious integrity |
| [02:16.510] | Their small town eyes will gape at you in |
| [02:20.340] | Dull surprise when payment due |
| [02:25.180] | Exceeds accounts received at seventeen |
| [02:29.370] | |
| [03:24.800] | To those of us who knew the pain |
| [03:29.300] | Of valentines that never came |
| [03:33.320] | And those whose names were never called |
| [03:37.360] | When choosing sides for basketball |
| [03:44.900] | It was long ago and far away |
| [03:48.620] | The world was younger than today |
| [03:53.200] | And dreams were all they gave for free |
| [03:56.920] | To ugly duckling girls like me |
| [04:00.800] | |
| [04:03.0] | We all play the game and when we dare |
| [04:07.320] | To cheat ourselves at solitaire |
| [04:11.900] | Inventing lovers on the phone |
| [04:14.670] | Repenting other lives unknown |
| [04:18.620] | That call and say, "come dance with me" |
| [04:23.990] | And murmur vague obscenities |
| [04:27.510] | At ugly girls like me, at seventeen |
