At Seventeen (In the Style of Janis Ian) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)[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[00:00:26]

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[00:00:45]

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

Desperately remained at home[00:00:53]

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

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

And murmured vague obscenities[00:01:05]

It isn't all it seems at seventeen[00:01:09]

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[00:01:24]

'Cause they only get what they deserve"[00:01:28]

And the rich relationed hometown queen[00:01:35]

Marries into what she needs[00:01:38]

With a guarantee of company[00:01:42]

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

So remember those who win the game[00:01:53]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:01:57]

In debentures of quality and dubious integrity[00:02:01]

Their small town eyes will gape at you[00:02:08]

In dull surprise when payment due[00:02:13]

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

To those of us who knew the pain[00:02:31]

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[00:02:54]

When dreams were all they gave for free[00:02:58]

To ugly duckling girls like me[00:03:02]

We all play the game and when we dare[00:03:08]

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

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

Repenting other lives unknown[00:03:20]

They call and say "Come dance with me"[00:03:24]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:03:29]

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