17 Songtext
von Rick James

A little girl came up to me, acting young and shy
A look of curiosity was flashing in her eyes
She had seen my face before and thought she knew me well
So I said "Shall we talk some more, girl, come to my hotel"

She was only 17, 17
But she was sexy
She was only 17, 17
She said she loved me

17 years old
17 years old

How we talked all through the night and never even touched
Even talked of love and life, I wanted her that much
She said she′d read a magazine that said I was a freak
"You'll never know now, little girl, unless you take a peek"


She was only 17, 17
And she was sexy
She was only 17, 17
But she was young and fine and oh, so tender
Would I break down tonight and surrender?
This young girl, this sweet thing, I just can′t wait
No, I mustn't do this, she's almost jailbait!

Yeah!
