Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I leaned the at seventeen
That love was meant for queens
And school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then

The I never knew
The Friday charades of youth
Were on one more beautiful
At I learned the truth

And those of us with ravaged
Lacking in the graces
Desperately remained at
Inventing lovers on the

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

A brown-eyed in hand-me-downs
Whose name I could pronounce
Said, "Pity, please, the who serve
'Cause they only get what deserve"

And the rich hometown queen
into what she needs
With a guarantee of
And haven for the

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

Their small town will gape at you
In surprise when payment due
accounts received at seventeen

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

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

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

call and say, "Come on, dance with me"
And murmur vague
At ugly like me at seventeen
