  at seventeen -Janis Ian

  i learned the truth at seventeen

  that love was meant for beauty queens

  and high school girls with clear siknned 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"

  and the rich relationed home town queen

  marries into what she needs

  with a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly

  remember those who with the game

  lose the love they sought to gain

  in debentures of quality and dubious integrity

  the small town eyes would gape at you 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 duckling girls like me

  we all played the game and when we dared

  to cheat ourselves at solitaire

  inverting lovers on the phone

  repenting other lives unknown

  they call and say "come dance with me"

  and murmur vague obscenities

  at ugly girls like me--at seventeen
