Seventeen

[Verse 1]

Used to be a major scale

But the melody went stale

Musical cacophony let

Insy winsy spider free

You're a rich little boy

Who's had to work for his toys

You've got all sensibilities, oh

Of an upper class guy

[Pre-Chorus]

No, no, I'm not your little slave

No, I don't twist and turn that way

Only got bad things to say

You're always asking what is up, up with me

[Chorus]

Could never tell you what happened

The day I turned seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen, oh

Seventeen

Seventeen

[Verse 2]

Oh, you were embarrassed of me

'Cause I used my tongue freely

Bet you wish I couldn't speak, 'cause when I do

You know I tell you why you appear weak

You want a hassle-free life?

Go get your upper class wife

Oh, she's got all the personality, oh

Of a lemon that has been

Truly sucked dry

[Pre-Chorus]

You teach me how to behave

I felt you question the way

I was brought up as a baby

Well, you don't know fuck about my family

[Chorus]

Could never tell you what happened

The day I turned seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen, oh

Seventeen (Seventeen)

Oh, seventeen

Oh, seventeen

The rise of a king and the fall of a queen, oh

Seventeen

[Outro]

Never felt all like a princess

I used to kid myself in the stress that it was just how things

Were meant to be

Oh, seventeen

Seventeen
