[00:00.93]I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:04.49]that love was meant 4 beauty queens
[00:08.13]and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:11.98]who married young and then retired
[00:15.42]
[00:19.45]The valentines I never knew
[00:23.01]the Friday night charades of youth
[00:26.64]were spent on one more beautiful
[00:30.45]at seventeen I learned the truth
[00:34.01]
[00:37.66]And those of us with ravaged faces
[00:41.76]lacking in social graces
[00:45.41]desperately remained at home
[00:48.88]inventing lovers on the phone
[00:52.51]who called to say come dance with me
[00:56.26]and murmured vague obscenities
[01:00.51]it isn’t all it seems at seventeen
[01:05.51]
[01:15.07]a brown eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:18.36]whose name I could never pronounce
[01:21.98]said - pity please the ones who serve
[01:25.77]they only get what they deserve
[01:29.51]the rich relationed hometown queen
[01:33.27]marries into what she needs
[01:36.74]with a guarantee of company
[01:40.55]and haven for the elderly
[01:44.28]
[01:47.77]Remember those who win the game
[01:51.77]lose the love they sought to gain
[01:55.08]in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:02.60]their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:06.39]in dull surprise when payment due
[02:11.20]exceeds account received at seventeen
[02:17.40]
[02:35.93]To those of us who knew the pain
[02:39.57]of valentines that never came
[02:43.26]and those whose names were never called
[02:47.00]when choosing sides for basketball
[02:50.66]it was long ago and far away
[02:54.44]the world was younger than today
[02:57.97]when dreams were all they gave for free
[03:01.89]to ugly duckling girls like me
[03:05.47]
[03:08.56]We all play the game and when we dare
[03:12.94]to cheat ourselves at solitaire
[03:16.54]inventing lovers on the phone
[03:20.36]repenting other lives unknown
[03:23.88]who call and say - come dance with me
[03:27.73]and murmur vague obscenities
[03:32.16]to ugly girls like me, at seventeen
