Seventeen

Seventeen Lyrics

(Verse 1) 
Five foot seven with light green eyes 
Body built like a woman over twenty-five 
Plus she push the whip that the average women couldn't get 
Less she worked about two nine to five's 
Girly played the game just a little too mature 
She damn near had everything I was looking for 
But things seemed shady 
When I asked my lady to meet at the club 
She had trouble at the door 
That's when I found out that 
(Ohh) 
She was only seventeen years old 
And I couldn't see her no more 
(Ohh) 

(Chorus): 
I ain't tryin to see myself locked up 
For knockin up some young joan 
(Ohh) 
How could I explain this situation to my family 
And all of my boys 
(Ohh) 
I'm sorry shorty 
But you've got to get gone 
Yeah 

(Verse 2) 
I tried to cut her off 
But she wasn't having it 
She kept telling me her age didn't mean sh-- 
And that's when she started to cry 
Baby I need you in my life 
And without you I just couldn't handle it 
So what's a brother to do 
(Ohh) 
Either way I lose 
(So) 
I could just say my piece 
Or p**s off her peace 
And talk it out with the boys in blue 
Cause when it comes down to it 
(Ohh) 
She was just seventeen years old 
And I was dead wrong from the door 
(Ohh) 


(Chorus)
