I learned the truth at seventeen[00:00:01]

That love was meant 4 beauty queens[00:00:04]

And high school girls with clear skinned smiles[00:00:08]

Who married young and then retired[00:00:12]

The valentines I never knew[00:00:19]

The friday night charades of youth[00:00:23]

Were spent on one more beautiful[00:00:26]

At seventeen i learned the truth[00:00:30]

And those of us with ravaged faces[00:00:37]

Lacking in social graces[00:00:41]

Desperately remained at home[00:00:45]

Inventing lovers on the phone[00:00:48]

Who called to say come dance with me[00:00:52]

And murmured vague obscenities[00:00:56]

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

A brown eyed girl in hand me downs[00:01:15]

Whose name I could never pronounce[00:01:18]

Said - pity please the ones who serve[00:01:22]

They only get what they deserve[00:01:26]

The rich relationed hometown queen[00:01:29]

Marries into what she needs[00:01:33]

With a guarantee of company[00:01:36]

And haven for the elderly[00:01:40]

Remember those who win the game[00:01:47]

Lose the love they sought to gain[00:01:51]

In debentures of quality and dubious integrity[00:01:55]

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

In dull surprise when payment due[00:02:06]

Exceeds account received at seventeen[00:02:11]

To those of us who knew the pain[00:02:36]

Of valentines that never came[00:02:39]

And those whose names were never called[00:02:43]

When choosing sides for basketball[00:02:47]

It was long ago and far away[00:02:51]

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[00:03:16]

Repenting other lives unknown[00:03:20]

Who call and say - come dance with me[00:03:24]

And murmur vague obscenities[00:03:27]

To ugly girls like me, at seventeen[00:03:32]
