🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: At Seventeen - Janis Ian

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