Sweet 17 Lyrics - The Babys

Sixteen going on seventeen 

But she thinks that she's twenty-one 

Doing things she ain't done before 

Got her hands on a loaded gun 

Talking 'bout 

Sweet 17 

Got a mouthful of sticky stuff 

Blowing bubbles in the parking lot 

She's in love with a film star 

So she gives it everything she's got 

Her daddy tells her she's crazy 

And her momma says, "Please slow down" 

See her out on the dance floor 

She's gonna wind up in the lost and found 

I'm talking about 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17 

I wouldn't say she's easy 

But she's the kinda girl that won't say no 

She's always getting into trouble 

Though she's only got a year to go 

She's got a record with the local sheriff 

And a reputation coast to coast 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17 

Sixteen going on seventeen 

And she acts like she's twenty-one 

Counting days 'til she's eighteen 

She's rated expert 

She's having fun 

I'm talking 'bout 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen 

Sweet 17 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

You know what I mean 

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen) 

Sweet 17
