Late last night
I get 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?
Yeah who you been walkin' with?


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


Seventeen, you're just seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen


Seventeen, you're just seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen


Seventeen, you're only seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen
