At Seventeen - Céline Dion[00:00:00]

I learned the truth at seventeen[00:00:08]

That love was meant for beauty queens[00:00:12]

And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles[00:00:17]

Who married young and then retired[00:00:22]

The valentines I never knew[00:00:29]

The Friday night charades of youth[00:00:33]

Were spent on one more beautiful[00:00:38]

At seventeen I learned the truth[00:00:42]

And those of us with ravaged faces[00:00:50]

Lacking in the social graces[00:00:55]

Desperately remained at home[00:00:59]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:01:03]

Who called to say Come dance with me[00:01:07]

And murmured vague obscenities[00:01:11]

It isn't all it seems at seventeen[00:01:17]

A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs[00:01:24]

Whose name I never could pronounce[00:01:29]

Said - Pity please the ones who serve[00:01:33]

They only get what they deserve[00:01:37]

The rich relationed hometown queen[00:01:45]

Marries into what she needs[00:01:49]

With a guarantee of company[00:01:53]

And haven for the elderly[00:01:58]

So Remember those who win the game[00:02:05]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:02:10]

In debentures of quality and dubious integrity[00:02:14]

Their small-town eyes will gape at you[00:02:23]

In dull surprise when payment due[00:02:28]

Exceeds accounts received at seventeen[00:02:32]

To those of us who knew the pain[00:02:56]

Of valentines that never came[00:03:01]

And those whose names were never called[00:03:06]

When choosing sides for basketball[00:03:10]

It was long ago and far away[00:03:17]

The world was younger than today[00:03:22]

When dreams were all they gave for free[00:03:26]

To ugly duckling girls like me[00:03:31]

We all play the game and when we dare[00:03:38]

We cheat ourselves at solitaire[00:03:43]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:03:47]

Repenting other lives unknown[00:03:51]

That call and say Come dance with me[00:03:55]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:04:00]

At ugly girls like me at seventeen[00:04:04]
