Seventeen Lyrics - Singles - Musiq

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 

She was only seventeen years old 

And I couldn't see her no more 

I ain't tryin' to see myself locked up 

For knockin' up some young joan 

How could I explain this situation to my family and all of my boys 

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 

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, either way I lose 

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 

She was just seventeen years old 

And I was dead wrong from the door 

I ain't tryin' to see myself locked up 

For knockin' up some young joan 

How could I explain this situation to my family and all of my boys 

Sorry, shorty but you've got to get gone , yeah
