I was only 17 when he
|
Came around and passed my way
|
He was the finest thing I'd ever seen
|
And his eyes were green
|
Him and the boys played basketball
|
While I was chillin at the park
|
He had a smile that could shine a light
|
On your darkest days
|
He came up to me and said
|
Excuse me what's your name
|
I was just wondering if you would like 2 get away
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Do you remember me?
|
At the age of 17
|
You fell in love with me
|
But it was never ever meant to be
|
|
Later on as we got to know each other
|
I just wanted this day to last forever
|
But as I learned more bout him
|
I wondered if I'd ever see him again
|
There was something bout the way he made me feel
|
It felt as though the whole world were standing still
|
And when we talked I could see
|
He was the perfect man for me
|
When he took me home that night
|
I knew that I was gone
|
He walked me to my door
|
And that's when I started to write this song
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Do you remember me?
|
At the age of 17
|
You fell in love with me
|
But it was never ever meant to be
|
|
Do you remember me?
|
I was only 17
|
Lived my life so wild and free
|
But it was never ever meant to be
|
|
I fell in love the moment I laid my eyes on him
|
But that's just the problem
|
Cuz he was already in a relationship
|
He said he wasn't happy
|
It wasn't working
|
And I reminded him of the way that she used to be
|
He said he couldn't stay and that was just the way
|
At the sweet age of 17
|
|
[Chorus]
|
