From the corner of my eye
And when I turned
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
But I"ll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me
Come to my place
We can talk it over
Oh everything going 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
You ain't seen love
Ain't seen nothing like me
She's only seventeen
Seventeen
Such a bad girl
Loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ho)
Dancin' close to that borderline
She's a magic mountain
She's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul
It must be love
I'm only seventeen
But I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough for me
