letra de at seventeen - ferdi bolland

[verse 1]
you 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
nu komt die zin
the valentines you never knew
the friday night charades of youth
were spent on one more beautiful
at seventeen you learned the truth

[chorus]
and those of you with ravaged faces
lacking in the social graces
desperatеly remained at home
invеnting lovers on the phone
who called to say, “come dance with me”
and murmured vague obscenities
it isn’t all it seems
at seventeen

[verse 2]
a brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
whose name you’d never could pr-nounce it
said, “pity, please, the ones who serve”
je kent het helemaal uit je hoofd
“they only get what they deserve”
the rich-relationed hometown queen
marries into what she needs
with a guarantee of company
and haven for the elderly
[chorus]
you all play the game and when you dare
to cheat ourselves at solitaire
inventing lovers on the phone
repenting other lives unknown
they call and say, “come dance with me”
and murmured vague obscenities
at lonely girls who dream
at seventeen

[verse 3]
to those of you 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 all the lonely girl who dreamed

[outro]
you learned the truth at seventeen
