Musiq Soulchild - Seventeen lyrics

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

Oh, She was only seventeen years old
And I couldn't see her no more
Oh, I ain't tryin to see myself locked up
For knockin up some young Joan
Oh, How could I explain this
Situation to my family and all of my boys
Oh, I'm sorry shorty
But you've got to get gone yeah

I tried to cut her off
But she wasn't having it
She kept telling me her age didn't mean shit
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
(Cause) either way I lose
(So) I could just say my piece
Or piss off her peeps
And talk it out with the boys in blue
Cause when it comes down to it

Oh, She was just seventeen years old
And I was dead wrong from the door
Oh, I ain't tryin to see myself locked up
For knockin up some young Joan
Oh, How could I explain this
Situation to my family and all of my boys
Oh, sorry shorty, but you've got to get gone
Yeah
