At Seventeen - Janis Ian
(Just heard this song on the Simpsons and dug out the CD. It is the Simpsons episode where Homer goes into the wierd fantasy world and has to find his soulmate. This song plays when he is miserable pounding the streets)
"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"
