I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with
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
An d murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems, it's 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
In the rich relationed hometown queen
Mar ries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly
Remember those who win the game,
lose the love they sought to gain
The small -town eyes will gape
When payment due exceeds accounts received at 17
To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
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 when we dare to cheat ourselves,
