🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: At Seventeen - Janis Ian

 I  the truth at seventeen
 That  was meant for beauty queens
 In high school girls with clear  smiles
 Who married  and then retired
 The valentines  never knew
 The Friday  charades of youth
 Were spent on one more 
 At  I learned the truth
 And  of us with ravaged faces
  in the social graces
 Desperately remained  home
 Inventing lovers on the 
 Who called to say come dance  me
 And murmured vague 
  isn't all it seems
 At seventeen
 
 A brown eyed girl in hand me 
 Whose name  never could pronounce
 Said, Pity please the ones  serve
 They only  what they deserve
 And the rich relationed  queen
 Married  what she needs
 A guarantee  company
 And haven for the 
 Remember those who win  game
 Lose the love  sought to gain
 Indebentures  quality
 And dubious 
 Their small town eyes will  at you
 in  surprise when payment due
 Exceeds accounts 
 At seventeen
 
 To those of us who knew  pain
 Of valentines  never came
 And those whose  were never called
 When choosing sides for 
 It was long ago and far 
 The  was younger than today
 And dreams were  they gave for free
 To ugly  girls like me
 We  play the game and when we dare
 To cheat  at solitaire
 Inventing lovers on the 
 Repenting  lives unknown
 That call and say,  dance with me
 And murmur vague 
 At  girls like me
 At seventeen
