🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: At Seventeen - Janis Ian

 I learned the truth  seventeen
 That love was meant  beauty queens
 In  school girls with clear skinned smiles
  married young and then retired
 The valentines I  knew
 The  night charades of youth
 Were spent  one more beautiful
 At  I learned the truth
 And those of us with ravaged 
 Lacking  the social graces
 Desperately remained  home
 Inventing lovers on the 
 Who called to say come  with me
 And  vague obscenities
 It isn't all it 
 At seventeen
 
 A  eyed girl in hand me downs
 Whose name I never  pronounce
  Pity please the ones who serve
 They only  what they deserve
 And  rich relationed hometown queen
 Married into what she 
 A guarantee  company
 And haven for the 
  those who win the game
 Lose the love they sought  gain
  of quality
 And dubious 
 Their small  eyes will gape at you
  dull surprise when payment due
 Exceeds accounts 
 At seventeen
 
 To those of us who  the pain
 Of valentines that never 
 And  whose names were never called
 When choosing sides  basketball
 It was long ago  far away
 The  was younger than today
 And  were all they gave for free
  ugly duckling girls like me
 We all play the  and when we dare
 To  ourselves at solitaire
  lovers on the phone
 Repenting other lives 
  call and say, come dance with me
 And  vague obscenities
 At ugly girls like 
 At seventeen
