Ferdi Bolland - At Seventeen songtekst
Je score:
You learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear skin smiles Married young then retired Valentines you never knew The Friday night charades of youth Was spent on one more beautiful At seventeen you learned the truth Until those of you with ravaged faces Lacking in the social graces Desperately remained that old 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 handmedowns 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 With a guarantee of company And haven for the elderly We all play the game and when we dare To cheat ourselves at solitaire Inventing lovers on the phone Repenting other lives unknown They call and say Come dance with me And murmur vague obscenities At loneley girls who dream 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 all the lonely girls who dream You learned the truth at seventeen
