I learned the truth at seventeen[00:00:07]
That love was meant for beauty queens[00:00:11]
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles[00:00:15]
Who married young and then retired[00:00:19]
The valentines I never knew[00:00:23]
The friday night charades of youth[00:00:26]
Were spent on one more beautiful[00:00:30]
At seventeen I learned the truth[00:00:34]
Those of us with ravaged faces[00:00:38]
Lacking in the social graces[00:00:42]
Desperately remained at home[00:00:46]
Inventing lovers on the phone[00:00:49]
Who called to say come dance with me[00:00:53]
And murmured vague obscenities[00:00:57]
It isn't all it seems at seventeen[00:01:01]
For those of us who know the pain[00:01:09]
Of valentines that never came[00:01:13]
And those whose names were never called[00:01:16]
When choosing sides for basketball[00:01:20]
It was long ago and far away[00:01:24]
The world was younger than today[00:01:28]
When dreams were all they gave for free[00:01:31]
To ugly duckling girls like me[00:01:35]
