Seventeen Lyrics

Yeah, I saw sparks fly from the corner of my eye
And when I turned, ooh, it was love at first sight
I said, "Please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh, it'd be a shame not to see you again"

And just when I thought
She was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet
And brought me to the floor

She said, "I'm only seventeen (Seventeen)
I'll show you love like you've never seen", oh
She's only seventeen (Seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me


Mm, come to my place, we can talk it over
Oh, everythin' goin' down in your head
She said, "Take it easy, I need some time
Time to work it out, to make you mine"

And just when I thought
She was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet
And brought me to the floor
She said, "I'm only seventeen (seventeen)
You ain't seen love
Ain't seen nothin' like me"
She's only seventeen, seventeen, yeah, yeah

Yeah, such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh, she's my soul, it must be love

She's only seventeen (Seventeen)
Girl she gives me love like I've never seen
She's only seventeen (Seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me (Seventeen)
She's everything I need (Seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
