Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

I the truth at seventeen
love was meant for beauty queens
And high school with clear-skinned smiles
Who married and then retired

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

And of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the graces
Desperately at home
Inventing on the phone

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

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

And the rich hometown queen
Marries into she needs
a guarantee of company
And for the elderly

So those who win the game
Lose the they sought to gain
In debentures of and dubious integrity

Their small eyes will gape at you
In surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received at

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

It was ago and far away
The world was younger today
When dreams were all they for free
To duckling girls like me

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

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