Sweet 17

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 seventeen

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 seventeen

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet seventeen

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 sherriff

And a reputation coast to coast

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet seventeen

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet seventeen

Sixteen going on seventeen

And she acts like she's twenty-one

Counting days til she's eighteen

She's rated X

But she’s having fun

I'm talking 'bout

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet seventeen

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet seventeen

(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

You know what I mean
