十七岁 - 齐豫
Learned the I truth at seventeen

That love was meant for beauty
Queens

And hIgh school gIrls wIth clear
SIknned iles

Who marrIed young and then retIred

The valentines I never knew

The frIday nIght charades of youth

Were spent on ONE more beautIful

At seventeen I learned the truth

And those of us wIth ravaged
Faces
Lacking in the socIal graces
Desperately remained at home

inventing lovers on the phONE

Who called to say come dance
WIth me

And murmured vague obscenItIes

It Isn't all It seems at
Seventeen

A browneyed gIrl in hand me
Downs

Whose name I never could pronounce

SaId pIty please the ONEs who
Serve

They only get what they deserve

And the rIch relatIONEd home town
Queen
MarrIes into what she needs
WIth a guarantee of company and
Haven for the elderly

Remember those who wIth the game
Lose the love they sought to
Gain

in debentures of qualIty and dubIous
integrIty

The all town eyes would gape
At you in dull surprIse

When payment due eXceeds accounts receIved

At seventeen

To those of us who knew
The pain

Of valentines that never came

And those whose names were never
Called

When choosing sIdes for basketball

It was long aGo and far
Away

The world was younger than today

And dreams were all they gave
For free

To ugly duckling gIrls lIke me

We all played the game and
When we dared

To cheat ourselves at solItaIre

inverting lovers on the phONE

Repenting other lIves unknown

They call and say come dance
WIth me

And murmur vague obscenItIes

At ugly gIrls lIke me at
Seventeen
