[00:02.45] 曲词:Janis Ian
[00:09.07] I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:13.28] That love was made for beauty queens and
[00:18.06] High school girls with clear skinned smile
[00:21.88] Who married young and then retired
[00:27.18] The valentines I never knew
[00:31.35] The Friday night charades of youth were spent
[00:36.88] On one more beautiful
[00:39.59] At seventeen I learned the truth
[00:45.85] And those of us with ravaged faces,
[00:50.26] Lacking in the social graces
[00:53.57] Desperately remained at home
[00:57.09] Inventing lovers on the phone
[01:00.67] Who called to day"Come dance with me,"
[01:05.37] And murmured vague obscenities
[01:09.46] It isn't all it seems at seventeen
[01:15.59] A brown-eyed girl in hand me-downs
[01:19.64] Whose name I never could pronounce
[01:23.97] Said,"Pity,please the ones who serve"
[01:28.19] They only get what they deserve
[01:33.50] The rich relationed home-town queen
[01:37.74] Married into what she needs
[01:41.87] A guarantee of company
[01:45.66] And haven for the elderly
[01:51.85] Remember those who win the game
[01:56.16] Lose the love they sought to gain
[01:59.42] In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:06.87] Their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:11.23] In dull surprise when payment's due
[02:15.91] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen.
[03:13.33] To those of us who know the pain
[03:17.40] Of valentines that never came
[03:21.53] And those whose names were never called
[03:25.45] When choosing sides for bassketball
[03:31.14] It was long ago and far away
[03:35.71] The world was younger than today
[03:39.63] And dreams were all they gave for free
[03:43.97] (Sorry,there are no official Lrc)
[03:49.24] We all play the game and when we dare
[03:53.75] To cheat ourselves at solitaire
[03:57.43] Inventing lovers on the phone
[04:01.01] Repenting other lives unknown
[04:04.83] That call and say"Come dance with me"
[04:09.49] And murmur vague obscenities
[04:13.01] It isn't all it seems at seventeen
