歌词与中文翻译
I learned the truth at seventeen
十七岁时我懂了
That love was meant for beauty queens
爱是属于选美皇后的
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
还属于高中那些面容姣好的女孩子
Who married young and then retired
她们最后早早结婚生子 退休生活
The valentines I never knew
那些与我无缘的情人节
The Friday night charades of youth
那些周五晚的字谜游戏
Were spent on one more beautiful
都是属于美丽女人的
At seventeen I learned the truth
十七岁时我懂了
我们这些相貌平庸的人
And those of us with ravaged faces
对社交一无所知
Lacking in the social graces
只能绝望地守在家里
Desperately remained at home
和虚拟情人打电话
Inventing lovers on the phone
他说，“来一起跳舞吧”
Who called to say, "come dance with me"
然后轻声在我耳边调情
And murmur vague obscenities
这不是想象中十七岁的样子
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
一个棕色眼睛的女孩穿着廉价的衣服
连名字我都叫不出
A brown eyed girl in hand-me-downs
她说，请同情那些卑微的人
Whose name I never could pronounce said
她们只得到了应得的
Pity, please, the ones who serve
那个富豪身边的美丽女人
They only get what they deserve
嫁给了她的需求
The rich-relationed home-town queen
物质的富足和晚年的保障
Marries into what she needs
记住那些赢得游戏的人
With a guarantee of company and haven for the elderly
却输了她们所渴望的爱
只获得了物质财富
Remember those who win the game
和令人怀疑的忠贞
Lose the love they sought to gain
她们眼光短浅 望着你
In debentures of quality
眼里的惊异一闪而过
And dubious integrity
就在十七岁那年
Their small town eyes will gape at you in
给那些和我一样
Dull surprise when payment due
与情人节无缘的女孩
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
和那些甄选篮球运动员时
永远不会被选中的人
To those of us who knew the pain
已经是很久远的事了
Of valentines that never came
那时的世界还年轻
And those whose names were never called
做梦是免费的消遣
When choosing sides for basketball
给那些和我一样的丑小鸭
It was long ago and far away
我们都在游戏当中
The world was younger than today
我们敢在孤独中自欺欺人
And dreams were all they gave for free
假装电话那端有个情人
To ugly duckling girls like me
忏悔虚拟的人生
情人打来电话说，“来和我跳舞”
We all play the game and when we dare
并低声说着甜言蜜语
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
对着和我一样平庸的女孩，十七岁时
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
