Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

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

The valentines I never
The Friday night of youth
Were spent on one beautiful
At seventeen I learned the

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

Who called to say, "Come with me"
And vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at

A brown-eyed girl in
Whose name I never could
Said, "Pity, please, the who serve
'Cause they get what they deserve"

And the rich relationed hometown
Marries into she needs
With a guarantee of
And haven for the

So those who win the game
the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and integrity

Their small town will gape at you
In dull surprise payment due
Exceeds received at seventeen

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

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

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

They call and say, "Come dance me"
And vague obscenities
At girls like me at seventeen
