about

Written when I was 4 years old.

lyrics

Sweet seventeen, daddy's little girl
When she's with her pets, I like to feed her squirrl
Younger than she seems, sweet seventeen

Sweet seventeen, they tell me stay away
From that little girl that's only half the age
Of this married man, I shouldn't but I can

When I wake up in the morning,
I think of her right by my side
I can feel something a-rising,
until I open up my eyes

Sweet seventeen, do you have to go
Can't you stay a while, and let me watch you grow
A thing I'd like to see, it just occurred to me

Late at night I lay there wondering,
what that girl is up to now
In her boyfriend's car she's doing,
things her mama won't allow

Sweet seventeen, is it worth the wait
for you to come of age, to steal my heart away
I'll have to let it go, I guess I'll never know

What it's like to be, sweet seventeen
Younger than she seems, sweet seventeen
