musiq soulchild – 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 d-mn 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-ss 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)
(dial tone)
(keypad being dialed)
(line rings)
