At Seventeen - Céline Dion
I learned the truth at seventeen

That love was meant for beauty queens

And high school girls with clear-skinned 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

The rich relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company

And haven for the elderly

so Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and dubious integrity

Their small-town eyes will 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

when dreams were all they gave for free

To ugly duckling girls like me

We all play the game and when we dare
We cheat ourselves at solitaire

Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown

That call and say Come dance with me

And murmur vague obscenities

At ugly girls like me, at seventeen
