| [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] | |
