Rick James - 17 Lyrics

A little girl came up to me
Actin' young and shy
A little curiosity was flashing in her eyes
She had seen my face before
And thought she knew me well
So I said "Shall we talk some more...
Well come to my hotel"

She was only 17, 17
But she was sexy
She was only 17, 17
She said she loved me
17 years old
17 years old

How we talked all through all the night
And never even touched
Even talked of love and life
I wanted her that much
She said she read a magazine
That said I was a freak
You'll never know now little
Until you take a peak

She was only 17, 17
And she was sexy
She was only 17, 17
But she was young
And fine
And oh so tender
Could I break down to find
And surrender
This young girl
This sweet thing
I just can't wait
No I musnt do this
She's almost jail bait
17 years old
17 years old

A little girl came up to me
Actin' young and shy
A little curiosity was flashing in her eyes
She had seen my face before
And thought she knew me well
So I said "Shall we talk some more...
Well come to my hotel"

She was only 17, 17
But she was sexy
She was only 17, 17
But she was young
And fine
And oh so tender
Could I break down to find
And surrender
Yea!

17 years old
Sexy, Sexy
17 years old
Sexy, Sexy
17 years old
Sexy, Sexy

17 and young
And fine
And oh so tender
Could I break down to find
And surrender
This young girl
This sweet thing
I just can't wait
No I shouldn't do this
She's almost jail bait

17 years old
17 and sexy

17 years old
17 and sexy

17 years old
17 and sexy....
