At 17 (十七岁) - 马玉芬[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[00:00:16]

Who married young and then retired[00:00:20]

The valentines I never knew[00:00:25]

The Friday night charades of youth[00:00:31]

Were spent on one more beautify[00:00:35]

At seventeen I learned the truth[00:00:39]

And those of us with ravaged faces[00:00:46]

Lacking in the social graces[00:00:50]

Desp'rately remained at home[00:00:54]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:00:57]

Ian Janis[00:01:01]

Who called to say Come dance with me[00:01:03]

And murmered vague obscenities[00:01:07]

It isn't all it seems at seventeen[00:01:10]

A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs[00:01:16]

Whose name I never could pronounce[00:01:20]

Said Pity please the ones who serve[00:01:25]

They only get what they deserve[00:01:29]

The rich relationed hometown queen[00:01:35]

Marries into what she needs[00:01:39]

A guarantee of company[00:01:42]

And haven for the elderly[00:01:46]

Remember those who win the game[00:01:54]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:01:58]

In debentures of quality[00:02:01]

And dubious integrity[00:02:05]

In dull surprise when payment due[00:02:09]

Exceeds accounts received at seventeen[00:02:17]

To those of us who knew the pain[00:02:33]

Of valentines that never came[00:02:36]

And those whose names were never called[00:02:40]

When choosing sides for basketball[00:02:44]

It was long ago and far away[00:02:50]

The world was younger than today[00:02:55]

And dreams were all they gave for free[00:02:59]

To ugly ducking girls like me[00:03:03]

We all play the game and when we dare[00:03:09]

To cheat ourselves at solitaire[00:03:13]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:03:17]

Repenting other lives unknown[00:03:21]

That call and say Come dance with me[00:03:25]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:03:30]

At ugly girls like me at seventeen[00:03:33]
