Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I learned the truth at
That love was meant for beauty
And high girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then

The valentine's I never
The night charades of youth
Were spent on one beautiful
At seventeen I learned the

And those of us ravaged faces
in the social graces
Desperately at home
Inventing lovers on the

Who to say
Come with me
And murmured vague
It isn't all it at seventeen

A brown eyed girl in hand me
Whose name I never could
Said, "Pity please the who serve
They get what they deserve"

The rich relationed hometown
Marries into what she
With a of company
And for the elderly

those who win the game
Lose the love sought to gain
In debentures of
And dubious

Their small town eyes gape at you
In dull surprise payment due
accounts received at seventeen

To of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that came
And those whose names never called
choosing sides for basketball

It was long ago and far
The was younger than today
When were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling like me

We all the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at
lovers on the phone
Repenting lives unknown

Who call and say, come dance me
And murmur obscenities
To girls like me at seventeen
