sixteen going on seventeen
but she thinks that she´s twenty-one
doing things she ain´t done before
got her hands on a loaded gun
talking ´bout
sweet seventeen
got a mouthful of sticky stuff
blowing bubbles in the parking lot
she´s in love with a film star
so she gives it everything she´s got
her daddy tells her she´s crazy
and her momma says
please slow down
see her out on the dance floor
she´s gonna wind up in the lost and found
i´m talking about
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
i wouldn´t say she´s easy
but she´s the kinda girl that won´t say no
she´s always getting into trouble
though she´s only got a year to go
she´s got a record with the local sherriff
and a reputation coast to coast
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
sixteen going on seventeen
and she acts like she´s twenty-one
counting days til she´s eighteen
she´s rated expert
she´s having fun
i´m talking ´bout
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
you know what i mean
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
sweet seventeen
