Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I leaned the at seventeen
love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with smiles
Who married young and retired

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

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

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

A girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I could pronounce
Said, "Pity, please, the ones who
they only get what they deserve"

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

So remember who win the game
Lose the love sought to gain
In debentures of quality and integrity

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

To those of us who knew the
Of valentines that never
And those whose names never called
When choosing for basketball

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

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

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