Late last night Iget a call from a so-called friend He wouldn't give his name Says he saw you with another man Feels like seventeen years It's only seventeen days Since I saw the real you And I let you walk away
You left me broken You left me stranded The way you play this game of love It's just plain underhanded I spent a lot of time And I spent all my money Don't want no other fool To put his hands on you
Who you been talkin' to Who you been walkin' with
CHORUS Seventeen You're just seventeen Seventeen
They said I was playin' with fire I knew I had to take a chance I had to take you higher To a new experience But little did I know I'd never get that far Girl, you know you put on quite a show You're gonna be a star
When you grow older, girl You'll remember I told you, girl
