Lyrics
I learned the truth at seventeen
17ๆญณใฎ้กท็งใฏ็ๅฎใ็ฅใฃใ
That love was meant for beauty queens
็ฑใฏ็พใใๅฅณๆงใฎใใใซใใใใใใฎ
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles

Who married young and then retired
ใใใฆ่ฅใใใฆ็ปๅฉใงใใใฎใฏใใใใๅญใใกใ ใจ

Were spent on one more beautiful

At seventeen I learned the truth...
17ๆญณใฎ้กทใ็งใฏ็ๅฎใ็ฅใฃใฆใใพใฃใ
And those of us with ravaged faces

Desperately remained at home

Inventing lovers on the phone

And murmured vague obscenities
