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 married young and then

The I never knew
The Friday night charades of
Were spent on one beautiful
At seventeen I learned the

And those of us with faces
Lacking in the social
Desperately remained at
Inventing lovers on the

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

A brown-eyed in hand-me-downs
Whose I never could pronounce
Said, "Pity, please, the ones who
they only get what they deserve"

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

So remember those who win the
Lose the love sought to gain
In debentures of and dubious integrity

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

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

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

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

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