专辑:《青春不定》

I learned the truth at seventeen
　　That love was meant for beauty queens
　　And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
　　Who married young and then retired
　　The valentines I never knew
　　The Friday night charades of youth
　　Were spent on one more beautify
　　At seventeen I learned the truth
　　And those of us with ravaged faces
　　Lacking in the social graces
　　Desp'rately remained at home
　　Inventing lovers on the phone
　　Ian Janis
　　Who called to say "Come dance with me"
　　And murmered vague obscenities
　　It isn't all it seems at seventeen
　　A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs
　　Whose name I never could pronounce
　　Said, "Pity, please, the ones who serve
　　They only get what they deserve.
　　The rich relationed hometown queen
　　Marries into what she needs
　　A guarantee of company
　　And haven for the elderly"
　　Remember those who win the game
　　Lose the love they sought to gain
　　In debentures of quality
　　And dubious integrity
　　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 ducking girls like me
　　We all play the game and when we dare
　　To cheat ourselves at solitaire
　　Inventing lovers on the phone
　　Repenting other lives unknown
　　That call and say, "Come dance with me"
　　And murmur vague obscenities
　　At ugly girls like me at seventeen
