Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I learned the truth at
That love was meant for queens
And high school with clear-skinned smiles
Who young and then retired

The valentines I knew
The Friday night charades of
spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I the truth

And those of us with ravaged
Lacking in the graces
remained at home
Inventing on the phone
Who to say "Come dance with me"
And murmured vague
It all it seems at seventeen

A brown girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could
Said, "Pity, please, the ones who
only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown
Marries what she needs
With a of company
And for the elderly"

So remember who win the game
Lose the love sought to gain
In of quality
And integrity
The small eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise payment due
accounts received at seventeen

To those of us who knew the
Of valentines that never
And whose names were never called
When choosing for basketball
It was ago and far away
The world was younger than
When were all they gave for free
To ugly ducking like me

We all the game and when we dare
We cheat ourselves at
Inventing lovers on the
Repenting other lives
That and say, "Come dance with me"
And vague obscenities
At girls like me at seventeen
