Seventeen lyrics

by

The Roots


[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 sh*t
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 p*ss 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
