17 Lyrics By Rick James

    a little girl came up to me acting young and shy
    a look of 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 girl come to my hotel

    she was only seventeen seventeen
    but she was sexy
    she was only seventeen seventeen
    she said she loved me
    seventeen years old
    seventeen years old

    how we talked all through the night and never even touched
    even talked of love and life i wanted her that much
    she said she’d read a magazine that said i was a freak
    you’ll never know now little girl unless you take a peak

    she was only seventeen seventeen
    and she was sexy
    she was only seventeen seventeen
    but she was you and fine and oh so tender
    would i break down tonight and surrender
    this young girl this sweet thing i just can’t wait
    no i mustn’t do this she’s almost jailbait
    seventeen years old
    seventeen years old

    reprise
    a little girl came up to me acting young and shy
    a look of 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 girl come to my hotel

    she was only seventeen seventeen
    but she was sexy
    she was only seventeen seventeen
    and she was you and fine and oh so tender
    would i break down tonight and surrender
    yeah

    seventeen years old sexy sexy
    seventeen years old sexy sexy
    seventeen years old sexy sexy
    seventeen years old sexy sexy
    seventeen years old sexy sexy
    seventeen and she was you and fine and oh so tender
    would i break down tonight and surrender
    this young girl this sweet thing i just can’t wait
    no i shouldtn’t do this she’s almost jailbait

    come here little girl
    seventeen years old seventeen and sexy
    seventeen years old seventeen and sexy
    seventeen years old seventeen and sexy
    she was only seventeen
    seventeen and sexy
