🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: At Seventeen - Janis Ian

  learned the truth at seventeen
 That  was meant for beauty queens
 In high school girls with  skinned smiles
 Who married young and  retired
 The valentines  never knew
 The Friday night  of youth
 Were spent on one more 
  seventeen I learned the truth
 And those of  with ravaged faces
 Lacking in the  graces
 Desperately remained  home
 Inventing  on the phone
 Who  to say come dance with me
 And murmured  obscenities
 It isn't all  seems
 At seventeen
 
 A  eyed girl in hand me downs
  name I never could pronounce
 Said, Pity please  ones who serve
  only get what they deserve
 And the rich relationed  queen
 Married  what she needs
  guarantee of company
 And  for the elderly
 Remember those who  the game
 Lose the love they  to gain
 Indebentures of 
 And dubious 
 Their small town eyes will  at you
  dull surprise when payment due
 Exceeds  received
 At seventeen
 
 To those  us who knew the pain
 Of valentines that never 
 And those whose names were never 
 When  sides for basketball
 It was long ago  far away
 The world was younger than 
 And dreams  all they gave for free
 To ugly  girls like me
 We all play the game  when we dare
 To cheat ourselves  solitaire
 Inventing lovers on the 
  other lives unknown
 That call and say, come dance  me
  murmur vague obscenities
 At ugly girls like 
 At seventeen
