Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

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

The valentine's I knew
The Friday charades of youth
spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the

And of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the graces
remained at home
Inventing lovers on the

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

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

The rich hometown queen
Marries into what she
a guarantee of company
And for the elderly

Remember those who win the
Lose the they sought to gain
In debentures of
And dubious

Their small town eyes will at you
In dull surprise payment due
Exceeds accounts at seventeen

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

It was ago and far away
The was younger than today
dreams were all they gave for free
To duckling girls like me

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

Who call and say, dance with me
And murmur vague
To girls like me at seventeen
