Seventeen Lyrics by Foreigner

Head Games

1979

[Verse 1]
Late last night, I get a call from a so-called friend
He wouldn't give his name, says he saw you with another man
Feels like seventeen years, it's only seventeen days
Since I saw the real you and I let you walk away

[Verse 2]
You left me broken and you left me stranded
The way you play this game of love, it's just plain underhanded
I spent a lot of time and I spent all my money
Don't want no other fool to put his hands on you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who you been talking to?
Yeah, who you been walking with?

[Chorus]
Seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen

[Verse 3]
They said I was playing with fire, I knew I had to take a chance
I had to take you higher to a new experience
But little did I know, I'd never get that far
Girl, you know you put on quite a show, you're gonna be a star

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When you grow older, girl
You'll remember I told you, girl

[Chorus]
Seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen

[Chorus]
Seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen

[Chorus]
Seventeen
You're just seventeen
Seventeen
