[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

You left me broken and 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


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Who you been talking to?

Yeah, who you been walking with?


[Chorus]

Seventeen

You're just seventeen

Seventeen


[Verse 3]

They said I was playing 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


[Pre-Chorus 2]

When you grow older, girl

You'll remember I told you, girl


[Chorus]

Seventeen

You're just seventeen

Seventeen


[Chorus]

Seventeen

You're just seventeen

Seventeen


[Chorus]

Seventeen

You're just seventeen

Seventeen
