十七岁的时候 我知道了 [00:10.89] [00:12.18]That love was meant for the beauty queens
只有那些选美佳人 [00:14.98] [00:16.73]And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
和校园里的甜美纯情女生 [00:19.85] [00:21.09]Who married young and then retired
才会拥有爱情 她们辍了学 早早出嫁 [00:22.90] [00:27.71]The valentines I never knew
我从没听过情人节 [00:30.67] [00:31.86]The Friday night charades of youth
也不知道什么周五狂欢夜 更不会那些年轻人爱玩的猜谜游戏 [00:34.57] [00:36.51]We're spent on one more beautiful
那该是多么美妙的时刻 [00:38.89] [00:40.61]At seventeen I learned the truth
十七岁的时候 我知道了 [00:43.06] [00:47.44]And those of us with ravaged faces
像我们这些容貌欠佳 [00:50.86] [00:52.32]Lacking in the social graces
又不善于社交的人 [00:54.53] [00:55.53]Desperately remained at home
只能孤独地待在家里 [00:58.56] [00:59.14]Inventing lovers on the phone
发展电话情人 [01:02.13] [01:02.99]Who called to say come dance with me
她们会说 来一起跳个舞吧 [01:06.04] [01:07.89]And murmured vague obscenities
有时彼此也会讲点儿暧昧言语 [01:10.12] [01:11.96]It isn't all it seems at seventeen
可对于十七岁的孩子来说 这些远远不够 [01:15.31] [01:18.67]A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
有一个褐色眼睛的女孩儿 穿着一身廉价衣服 [01:21.70] [01:23.17]Whose name I never could pronounce
她的名字我不曾念对 [01:25.45] [01:27.14]Said pity please the ones who serve
她说 真是可怜 永远只能当一片 [01:29.63] [01:31.13]They only get what they deserve
衬托红花的绿叶 [01:32.96] [01:37.53]And the rich relationed hometown queen
家乡的富人千金 [01:40.80] [01:42.03]Marries into what she needs
嫁给了她的如意郎君 [01:44.67] [01:45.22]With a guarantee of company
得到伴侣的承诺 会携手白头 [01:48.01] [01:49.20]And haven for the elderly
晚年也有了依靠 [01:52.12] [01:56.87]Remember those who win the game
想起有些人虽嫁入豪门 [01:59.99] [02:01.07]They lose the love they sought to gain
却输了辛苦到手的爱情 [02:03.73] [02:04.63]In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
最后得到的只是一沓空头支票和无休止的背叛 [02:11.11] [02:12.36]Their small town eyes will gape at you
那些鼠目寸光的人 [02:15.41] [02:16.05]In dull surprise when payment due
会大跌眼镜 [02:19.80] [02:21.08]Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
因为最终落了个得不偿失 [02:24.60] [03:20.29]To those of us who knew the pain
谨以此歌献给那些 [03:23.31] [03:24.35]Of valentines that never came
从没享受过情人节的单身人士 [03:27.19] [03:28.54]And those whose names were never called
和那些在体育课上 [03:31.37] [03:32.95]When choosing sides for basketball
被篮球抛弃的可怜人 [03:35.24] [03:39.28]It was long ago and far away
很久很久以前 [03:42.33] [03:44.14]The world was younger than today
世界比现在干净纯粹 [03:46.96] [03:48.30]When dreams were all they gave for free
那时候 人们可以自由平等地追求梦想 [03:50.78] [03:51.94]To ugly duckling girls like me
像我这样的丑小鸭也拥有如上权利 [03:55.40] [03:58.18]We all play the game and when we dare
我们大家都会玩这种单人游戏 [04:01.78] [04:02.73]To cheat ourselves at solitaire
可却慢慢地学会了自欺欺人 [04:05.30] [04:06.60]Inventing lovers on the phone
发展电话情人 [04:09.15] [04:10.11]Repenting other lives unknown
假装自己也很高贵 [04:12.80] [04:13.89]They call and say come dance with me
她们会说 来一起跳个舞吧 [04:16.80] [04:18.71]And murmur vague obscenities
有时彼此也会讲点儿暧昧言语 [04:20.79] [04:22.62]At ugly girls like me at seventeen
我这样的丑小鸭不喜欢十七岁
