Musiq Seventeen Lyrics

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 
(Ohh) 
She was only seventeen years old 
And I couldn't see her no more 
(Ohh) 

(Chorus): 
I ain't tryin to see myself locked up 
For knockin up some young joan 
(Ohh) 
How could I explain this situation to my family 
And all of my boys 
(Ohh) 
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-- 
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 
(Ohh) 
Either way I lose 
(So) 
I could just say my piece 
Or piss off her peace 
And talk it out with the boys in blue 
Cause when it comes down to it 
 
(Ohh) 
She was just seventeen years old 
And I was dead wrong from the door 
(Ohh) 


(Chorus)
