🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: At Seventeen - Janis Ian

 I learned the truth at 
 That love was meant  beauty queens
 In high school girls with  skinned smiles
 Who married young  then retired
 The  I never knew
 The  night charades of youth
 Were spent on one more 
 At seventeen I learned the 
 And those of us with ravaged 
 Lacking in the social 
 Desperately remained  home
 Inventing lovers on the 
 Who called to  come dance with me
  murmured vague obscenities
 It  all it seems
 At seventeen
 
 A brown  girl in hand me downs
 Whose  I never could pronounce
 Said, Pity  the ones who serve
 They only get  they deserve
  the rich relationed hometown queen
 Married into what she 
  guarantee of company
 And haven for the 
  those who win the game
 Lose the love  sought to gain
 Indebentures  quality
 And dubious 
 Their small town eyes will gape  you
 in dull surprise when payment 
 Exceeds accounts 
 At seventeen
 
 To those of  who knew the pain
  valentines that never came
 And those whose names  never called
 When  sides for basketball
 It  long ago and far away
  world was younger than today
 And dreams were all they gave for 
 To ugly duckling girls like 
 We all play the game and when we 
 To cheat  at solitaire
 Inventing lovers  the phone
 Repenting other  unknown
 That call and say, come  with me
 And  vague obscenities
 At ugly girls like 
 At seventeen
