At Seventeen - Twiggy[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[00:00:27]

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

Were spent on one more beautiful[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[00:00:51]

Desperately remained at home[00:00:54]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:00:58]

Who called to say - Come dance with me[00:01:02]

And murmured vague obscenities[00:01:07]

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

A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs[00:01:17]

Whose name I never could pronounce[00:01:21]

Said - Pity please the ones who serve[00:01:26]

They only get what they deserve[00:01:30]

The rich relationed hometown queen[00:01:37]

Marries into what she needs[00:01:41]

With a guarantee of company[00:01:44]

And haven for the elderly[00:01:49]

Remember those who win the game[00:01:56]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:02:01]

In debentures of quality and dubious integrity[00:02:05]

Their small-town eyes will gape at you[00:02:13]

In dull surprise when payment due[00:02:16]

Exceeds accounts received at seventeen[00:02:20]

To those of us who knew the pain[00:02:48]

Of valentines that never came[00:02:51]

And those whose names were never called[00:02:56]

When choosing sides for basketball[00:02:59]

It was long ago and far away[00:03:06]

The world was younger than today[00:03:11]

And dreams were all they gave for free[00:03:15]

To ugly duckling girls like me[00:03:19]

We all play the game and when we dare[00:03:26]

To cheat ourselves at solitaire[00:03:30]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:03:34]

Repenting other lives unknown[00:03:38]

That call and say - Come dance with me[00:03:42]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:03:46]

At ugly girls like me at seventeen[00:03:50]
