Luyện nghe bài hát At Seventeen

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

The valentines I knew
The night charades of youth
Were spent on one more
At seventeen I learned the

And of us with ravaged faces
in the social graces
Desperately remained at
Inventing lovers on the

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

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

And the rich relationed queen
Marries into she needs
With a guarantee of
And for the elderly

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

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

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

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

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

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