《At Seventeen》歌词

[00:00:00] At Seventeen - Twiggy

[00:00:08] I learned the truth at seventeen

[00:00:12] That love was meant for beauty queens

[00:00:16] And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles

[00:00:20] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:27] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:31] The Friday night charades of youth

[00:00:35] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:39] At seventeen I learned the truth

[00:00:46] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:51] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:54] Desperately remained at home

[00:00:58] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:01:02] Who called to say - Come dance with me

[00:01:07] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:10] It isn't all it seems at seventeen

[00:01:17] A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs

[00:01:21] Whose name I never could pronounce

[00:01:26] Said - Pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:30] They only get what they deserve

[00:01:37] The rich relationed hometown queen

[00:01:41] Marries into what she needs

[00:01:44] With a guarantee of company

[00:01:49] And haven for the elderly

[00:01:56] Remember those who win the game

[00:02:01] Lose the love they sought to gain

[00:02:05] In debentures of quality and dubious integrity

[00:02:13] Their small-town eyes will gape at you

[00:02:16] In dull surprise when payment due

[00:02:20] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen

[00:02:48] To those of us who knew the pain

[00:02:51] Of valentines that never came

[00:02:56] And those whose names were never called

[00:02:59] When choosing sides for basketball

[00:03:06] It was long ago and far away

[00:03:11] The world was younger than today

[00:03:15] And dreams were all they gave for free

[00:03:19] To ugly duckling girls like me

[00:03:26] We all play the game and when we dare

[00:03:30] To cheat ourselves at solitaire

[00:03:34] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:03:38] Repenting other lives unknown

[00:03:42] That call and say - Come dance with me

[00:03:46] And murmur vague obscenities

[00:03:50] At ugly girls like me at seventeen
