Sounds nice isn't it? I've always thought it's a love song, but when I listened to the lyrics, it's a sad song after all. "And those of us with ravaged faces, lacking in social graces... at 17 I learned the truth"

Ah, Janis Ian. The song can change your life if you let it.

At Seventeen...Janis Ian, check out her 60's anthem song called Society's Child. It is her best, also great lyrics.

It is sad, but true. "desperately remain at home, inventing lovers on the phone, who call to say,'Come dance with me...'"She unveiled the hidden fantasies of those of us who didn't have the storybook lives we saw others living.
