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