Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

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

The valentines I never
The Friday night charades of
Were spent on one beautiful
At seventeen I the truth

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

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

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

And the rich relationed queen
Marries what she needs
With a guarantee of
And haven for the

So those who win the game
Lose the they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and dubious

Their town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when due
Exceeds accounts received at

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 world was than today
When were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling like me

We all play the and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at
Inventing lovers on the
Repenting other lives

They and say, "Come dance with me"
And murmur obscenities
At ugly like me at seventeen
