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 [Chorus] Oh, She was only seventeen years old And I couldn't see her no more Oh, I ain't tryin to see myself locked up For knockin up some young Joan Oh, How could I explain this situation to my family And all of my boys Oh, 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 shit 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 (Cause) either way I lose (So) I could just say my piece Or piss off her peeps And talk it out with the boys in blue Cause when it comes down to it [Chorus] Oh, She was just seventeen years old And I was dead wrong from the door Oh, I ain't tryin to see myself locked up For knockin up some young Joan Oh, How could I explain this situation to my family And all of my boys Oh, sorry shorty, but you've got to get gone Yeah [Automated voice] Welcome to your voice messaging service To enter your mailbox, press star First message [Female voice] Yo, how you doin'?
