Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I leaned the truth at
love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned
Who young and then retired

The valentines I knew
The Friday night charades of
Were on one more beautiful
At seventeen I the truth

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

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

A girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could
Said, "Pity, please, the ones who
'Cause only get what they deserve"

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

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

small town eyes will gape at you
In dull when payment due
accounts received at seventeen

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

It was long ago and far
The world was younger than
When dreams were all they gave for
To duckling girls like me

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

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