[00:01.02]I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:04.38]That love was meant 4 beauty queens
[00:08.01]And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:11.88]Who married young and then retired
[00:14.93]
[00:19.49]The valentines I never knew
[00:22.92]The Friday night charades of youth
[00:26.48]Were spent on one more beautiful
[00:30.41]At seventeen I learned the truth
[00:33.83]
[00:37.76]And those of us with ravaged faces
[00:41.13]
[00:41.67]Lacking in social graces
[00:45.30]Desperately remained at home
[00:48.78]Inventing lovers on the phone
[00:52.59]Who called to say come dance with me
[00:56.09]And murmured vague obscenities
[00:59.46]
[01:00.86]It isn't all it seems at seventeen
[01:05.35]
[01:15.08]A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:18.27]Whose name I could never pronounce
[01:22.00]Said pity please the ones who serve
[01:25.88]They only get what they deserve
[01:29.56]The rich relationed hometown queen
[01:33.12]Marries into what she needs
[01:36.73]With a guarantee of company
[01:40.41]And haven for the elderly
[01:43.41]
[01:47.84]Remember those who win the game
[01:51.47]Lose the love they sought to gain
[01:55.33]In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:02.63]Their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:06.19]In dull surprise when payment due
[02:10.06]Exceeds account received at seventeen
[02:16.26]
[02:35.85]To those of us who knew the pain
[02:39.41]Of valentines that never came
[02:43.21]And those whose names were never called
[02:46.90]When choosing sides for basketball
[02:49.76]
[02:50.63]It was long ago and far away
[02:54.20]The world was younger than today
[02:57.82]When dreams were all they gave for free
[03:01.55]To ugly duckling girls like me
[03:05.12]
[03:08.62]We all play the game and when we dare
[03:12.73]To cheat ourselves at solitaire
[03:15.85]
[03:16.60]Inventing lovers on the phone
[03:20.22]Repenting other lives unknown
[03:23.83]Who call and say come dance with me
[03:27.46]And murmur vague obscenities
[03:30.43]
[03:32.51]To ugly girls like me at seventeen
