What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I learned the truth at seventeen
2
That love was meant for beauty queens
3
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
4
Who married young and then retired
5
The valentine's I never knew
6
The Friday night charades of youth
7
Were spent on one more beautiful
8
At seventeen I learned the truth
9
And those of us with ravaged faces
10
Lacking in the social graces
11
Desperately remained at home
12
Inventing lovers on the phone
13
Who called to say
14
Come dance with me
15
And murmured vague obscenities
16
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
17
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
18
Whose name I never could pronounce
19
Said, "Pity please the one's who serve
20
They only get what they deserve"
21
The rich relationed hometown queen
22
Marries into what she needs
23
With a guarantee of company
24
And haven for the elderly
25
Remember those who win the game
26
Lose the love they sought to gain
27
In debentures of quality
28
And dubious integrity
29
Their small town eyes will gape at you
30
In dull surprise when payment due
31
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
32
To those of us who knew the pain
33
Of valentines that never came
34
And those whose names were never called
35
When choosing sides for basketball
36
It was long ago and far away
37
The world was younger than today
38
When dreams were all they gave for free
39
To ugly duckling girls like me
40
We all play the game and when we dare
41
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
42
Inventing lovers on the phone
43
Repenting other lives unknown
44
Who call and say, come dance with me
45
And murmur vague obscenities
46
To ugly girls like me at seventeen
