[00:00.00] d.h.t. - at seventeen
[00:00.29]
[00:00.49]
[00:00.93] i learned the truth at seventeen
[00:04.49] that love was meant 4 beauty queens
[00:08.13] and high school girls with clear skinned smiles
[00:11.98] who married young and then retired
[00:15.42]
[00:19.45] the valentines i never knew
[00:23.01] the friday night charades of youth
[00:26.64] were spent on one more beautiful
[00:30.45] at seventeen i learned the truth
[00:34.01]
[00:37.66] and those of us with ravaged faces
[00:41.76] lacking in social graces
[00:45.41] desperately remained at home
[00:48.88] inventing lovers on the phone
[00:52.51] who called to say come dance with me
[00:56.26] and murmured vague obscenities
[01:00.51] it isn’t all it seems at seventeen
[01:05.51]
[01:15.07] a brown eyed girl in hand me downs
[01:18.36] whose name i could never pronounce
[01:21.98] said - pity please the ones who serve
[01:25.77] they only get what they deserve
[01:29.51] the rich relationed hometown queen
[01:33.27] marries into what she needs
[01:36.74] with a guarantee of company
[01:40.55] and haven for the elderly
[01:44.28]
[01:47.77] remember those who win the game
[01:51.77] lose the love they sought to gain
[01:55.08] in debentures of quality and dubious integrity
[02:02.60] their small town eyes will gape at you
[02:06.39] in dull surprise when payment due
[02:11.20] exceeds account received at seventeen
[02:17.40]
[02:35.93] to those of us who knew the pain
[02:39.57] of valentines that never came
[02:43.26] and those whose names were never called
[02:47.00] when choosing sides for basketball
[02:50.66] it was long ago and far away
[02:54.44] the world was younger than today
[02:57.97] when dreams were all they gave for free
[03:01.89] to ugly duckling girls like me
[03:05.47]
[03:08.56] we all play the game and when we dare
[03:12.94] to cheat ourselves at solitaire
[03:16.54] inventing lovers on the phone
[03:20.36] repenting other lives unknown
[03:23.88] who call and say - come dance with me
[03:27.73] and murmur vague obscenities
[03:32.16] to ugly girls like me, at seventeen
[03:36.85]
[03:43.70]
[03:54.01]
