[Verse 1]
|
Five foot seven with light green eyes
|
Body built like a woman over twenty-five
|
Plus she push the whip that the average women couldn't get
|
Less she worked about two nine to five's
|
Girly played the game just a little too mature
|
She damn near had everything I was looking for
|
But things seemed shady
|
When I asked my lady to meet at the club
|
She had trouble at the door
|
That's when I found out that
|
(Ohh)
|
She was only seventeen years old
|
And I couldn't see her no more
|
(Ohh)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I ain't tryin to see myself locked up
|
For knockin up some young joan
|
(Ohh)
|
How could I explain this situation to my family
|
And all of my boys
|
(Ohh)
|
I'm sorry shorty
|
But you've got to get gone
|
Yeah
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
I tried to cut her off
|
But she wasn't having it
|
She kept telling me her age didn't mean sh--
|
And that's when she started to cry
|
Baby I need you in my life
|
And without you I just couldn't handle it
|
So what's a brother to do
|
(Ohh)
|
Either way I lose
|
(So)
|
I could just say my piece
|
Or piss off her peeps
|
And talk it out with the boys in blue
|
Cause when it comes down to it
|
(Ohh)
|
She was just seventeen years old
|
And I was dead wrong from the door
|
(Ohh)
|
|
