17 Lyrics - Singles - Tamyra Gray

I was only 17 when he 

Came around and passed my way 

He was the finest thing I'd ever seen 

And his eyes were green 

Him and the boys played basketball 

While I was chillin' at the park 

He had a smile that could shine a light 

On your darkest days 

Came up to me and said 

"Excuse me, what's your name? 

I was just wondering 

If you would like to get away" 

"Do you remember me 

At the age of 17? 

You fell in love with me 

But it was never ever meant to be" 

Later on as we got to know each other 

I just wanted this day to last forever 

But as I learned more 'bout him 

I wondered if I'd ever see him again 

There was something 'bout the way he made me feel 

Felt as though the whole world were standing still 

And when we talked I could see 

He was the perfect man for me 

When he took me home that night 

I knew that I was gone 

He walked me to my door 

And that's when I started to write this song 

Do you remember me 

At the age of 17? 

You fell in love with me 

But it was never ever meant to be 

Do you remember me 

At the age of 17? 

You fell in love with me 

But it was never ever meant to be 

I fell in love the moment I laid my eyes on him 

But that's just the problem 

'Cause he was already in a relationship 

He said he wasn't happy, it wasn't working 

And I reminded him of the way that she used to be 

He said he couldn't stay and that was just the way 

At the sweet age of 17 

Do you remember me 

At the age of 17? 

You fell in love with me 

But it was never ever meant to be
