At Seventeen歌词

[00:02.45]曲词：Janis Ian
[00:09.07]I learned the truth at seventeen
[00:13.28]That love was made for beauty queens and
[00:18.06]High school girls with clear skinned smile
[00:21.88]Who married young and then retired
[00:27.18]The valentines I never knew
[00:31.35]The Friday night charades of youth were spent
[00:36.88]On one more beautiful
[00:39.59]At seventeen I learned the truth
[00:45.85]And those of us with ravaged faces,
[00:50.26]Lacking in the social graces
[00:53.57]Desperately remained at home
[00:57.09]Inventing lovers on the phone
[01:00.67]Who called to day"Come dance with me,"
[01:05.37]And murmured vague obscenities
[01:09.46]It isn't all it seems at seventeen
[01:15.59]A brown-eyed girl in hand me-downs
[01:19.64]Whose name I never could pronounce
[01:23.97]Said,"Pity,please the ones who serve"
[01:28.19]They only get what they deserve
[01:33.50]The rich relationed home-town queen
[01:37.74]Married into what she needs
[01:41.87]A guarantee of company
[01:45.66]And haven for the elderly
[01:51.85]Remember those who win the game
[01:56.16]Lose the love they sought to gain
[01:59.42]In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:06.87]Their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:11.23]In dull surprise when payment's due
[02:15.91]Exceeds accounts received at seventeen.
[03:13.33]To those of us who know the pain
[03:17.40]Of valentines that never came
[03:21.53]And those whose names were never called
[03:25.45]When choosing sides for bassketball
[03:31.14]It was long ago and far away
[03:35.71]The world was younger than today
[03:39.63]And dreams were all they gave for free
[03:43.97](Sorry,there are no official Lrc)
[03:49.24]We all play the game and when we dare
[03:53.75]To cheat ourselves at solitaire
[03:57.43]Inventing lovers on the phone
[04:01.01]Repenting other lives unknown
[04:04.83]That call and say"Come dance with me"
[04:09.49]And murmur vague obscenities
[04:13.01]It isn't all it seems at seventeen
