《At Seventeen》歌词

[00:00:00] At Seventeen - Céline Dion

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

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

[00:00:17] And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles

[00:00:22] Who married young and then retired

[00:00:29] The valentines I never knew

[00:00:33] The Friday night charades of youth

[00:00:38] Were spent on one more beautiful

[00:00:42] At seventeen I learned the truth

[00:00:50] And those of us with ravaged faces

[00:00:55] Lacking in the social graces

[00:00:59] Desperately remained at home

[00:01:03] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:01:07] Who called to say Come dance with me

[00:01:11] And murmured vague obscenities

[00:01:17] It isn't all it seems at seventeen

[00:01:24] A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs

[00:01:29] Whose name I never could pronounce

[00:01:33] Said - Pity please the ones who serve

[00:01:37] They only get what they deserve

[00:01:45] The rich relationed hometown queen

[00:01:49] Marries into what she needs

[00:01:53] With a guarantee of company

[00:01:58] And haven for the elderly

[00:02:05] So Remember those who win the game

[00:02:10] Lose the love they sought to gain

[00:02:14] In debentures of quality and dubious integrity

[00:02:23] Their small-town eyes will gape at you

[00:02:28] In dull surprise when payment due

[00:02:32] Exceeds accounts received at seventeen

[00:02:56] To those of us who knew the pain

[00:03:01] Of valentines that never came

[00:03:06] And those whose names were never called

[00:03:10] When choosing sides for basketball

[00:03:17] It was long ago and far away

[00:03:22] The world was younger than today

[00:03:26] When dreams were all they gave for free

[00:03:31] To ugly duckling girls like me

[00:03:38] We all play the game and when we dare

[00:03:43] We cheat ourselves at solitaire

[00:03:47] Inventing lovers on the phone

[00:03:51] Repenting other lives unknown

[00:03:55] That call and say Come dance with me

[00:04:00] And murmur vague obscenities

[00:04:04] At ugly girls like me at seventeen
