Seventeen -- It's been a while since I've seen seventeen
|
And the years since have been mighty lean
|
But there's no use complainin'
|
Forty-two--has a way of creepin' up on you
|
And my chances left are gettin' few
|
But there's till time remainin'
|
|
I've been waiting for someone
|
Who loves the way I do
|
And girl I've got my fingers crossed
|
In hopes it might be you...
|
Twenty-one...that's how many different jobs I've done
|
I remember quittin' every one
|
With no hesitatin'
|
And thirty-three... that's how many women left on me
|
I don't have too good a history
|
But I don't mind waitin'...
|
Cause it really doesn't matter
|
How many years you've seen
|
Cause Love is Always Seventeen
|
Wonder if you'll be the one
|
To end this lonesome heart.
|
'Cause girl I've got a lot to give
|
And I'd sure like to start.
|
And it really doesn't matter how many years you've seen
|
'Cause love is always seventeen.
