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