johnny bravo (1996) - at seventeen (live) lyrics

Loading...

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

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
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 guys like me

we all play the game and when we dare
to cheat ourselves at solitaire
desperately remained at home
inventing lovers on the phone
they call and say, “come dance with me”
and murmur vague obscenities
it isn’t all it seems
at seventeen
