Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

That love was meant for queens
And high school girls with smiles
Who married young and then

The valentines I never
The Friday charades of youth

Lacking in the graces

Inventing lovers on the

Who called to say, "Come with me"
And vague obscenities
It all it seems at seventeen

In dull surprise payment due
Exceeds received at seventeen

To cheat at solitaire
lovers on the phone
Repenting lives unknown

And vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me at
