I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye And when I turned, it was love at first sight I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again And just when I thought she was comin' to my door She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said I'm only seventeen (seventeen) but I'll show you love like you've never seen She's only seventeen (seventeen) daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine And just when I thought she was comin' to my door She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said I'm only seventeen (seventeen) you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me She's only seventeen, seventeen Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove Oh she's my soul, it must be love She's only seventeen (seventeen) still she gives me love, like I've never seen She's only seventeen(seventeen) daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me (seventeen) She's everything I need (seventeen) daddy says she's too young But she's old enough, old enough for me (seventeen) (Seventeen)(seventeen)
