I make this video is for my Yahoo! 360 Blog, My favourite music, My music world ... A tribute to Janis Ian ... Janis Ian Official Site http://www.janisian.com/index.html Artist: Janis Ian Album: Between the Lines 1975 Song: At Seventeen 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 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 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 Married 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 Indebentures of quality And dubious integrity Their small town eyes will gape at you In dull surprise when payment due Exceeds accounts received At seventeen To those of us who know 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 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 * Janis Ian Janis Ian (born April 7, 1951[1]) is a Grammy Award-winning American songwriter, singer, multi-instrumental musician, columnist, and science fiction author.
