  learned the truth at seventeen
  love was meant for beauty queens
 In high school girls with  skinned smiles
 Who married young  then retired
  valentines I never knew
 The  night charades of youth
 Were spent on one  beautiful
 At  I learned the truth
 And those  us with ravaged faces
 Lacking in the social 
 Desperately remained at 
 Inventing lovers on the 
 Who called to  come dance with me
 And murmured vague 
 It isn't  it seems
 At seventeen
 
 A brown eyed girl  hand me downs
 Whose name I never could 
 Said, Pity  the ones who serve
  only get what they deserve
 And the  relationed hometown queen
  into what she needs
 A guarantee of 
 And haven for the 
  those who win the game
 Lose  love they sought to gain
 Indebentures of quality
 And dubious integrity
  small town eyes will gape at you
 in dull surprise when payment 
 Exceeds accounts received
 At seventeen
 
 To those of  who knew the pain
 Of valentines that never 
 And those whose  were never called
 When  sides for basketball
  was long ago and far away
 The world was  than today
 And dreams were all they  for free
 To ugly duckling girls  me
  all play the game and when we dare
 To  ourselves at solitaire
 Inventing lovers  the phone
 Repenting other  unknown
 That call and  come dance with me
  murmur vague obscenities
 At ugly girls  me
 At seventeen
