At Seventeen - Regine Velasquez[00:00:00]

Written by：Janis Ian[00:00:01]

I learned the truth at seventeen[00:00:31]

That love was meant for beauty queens[00:00:36]

And high school girls with clear skinned smiles[00:00:41]

Who married young and then retired[00:00:45]

The valentines I never knew[00:00:53]

The Friday night charades of youth[00:00:57]

Were spent on those more beautiful[00:01:03]

At seventeen I learned the truth[00:01:07]

And those of us with ravaged faces[00:01:15]

Lacking in the social graces[00:01:20]

Desperately remained at home[00:01:24]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:01:28]

Who called to say come dance with me[00:01:32]

And murmured vague obscenities[00:01:37]

It isn't all it seems at seventeen[00:01:42]

A brown eyed girl in hand me downs[00:01:50]

Whose name I never could pronounce[00:01:55]

Said pity please the ones who serve[00:01:58]

They only get what they deserve[00:02:04]

And the rich relationed hometown queen[00:02:11]

Marries into what she needs[00:02:16]

With a guarantee of company[00:02:20]

And haven for the elderly[00:02:25]

Remember those who win the game[00:02:33]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:02:38]

In debentures of quality[00:02:42]

And dubious integrity[00:02:46]

Their small town eyes will gape at you[00:02:51]

In dull surprise when payments due[00:02:56]

Exceed accounts received[00:03:01]

At seventeen[00:03:04]

To those of us who knew the pain[00:03:08]

Of valentines that never came[00:03:13]

And those whose names were never called[00:03:18]

When choosing sides for basketball[00:03:22]

It was long ago and far away[00:03:29]

The world was younger than today[00:03:34]

When dreams were all they gave for free[00:03:40]

To ugly duckling girls like me[00:03:44]

We all play the game and when we dare[00:03:51]

To cheat ourselves at solitaire[00:03:57]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:04:00]

Repeating other lives unknown[00:04:05]

That call to say come dance with me[00:04:09]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:04:15]

At ugly girls like me at seventeen[00:04:19]
