A     C    D
Late last night
               C     A
I get a call from a so-called friend
             C        D
He wouldn't give his name
                 C     A
Says he saw you with another man
                 C    D
Feels like seventeen years
                C    A
It's only seventeen days
         C       D
Since I saw the real you
               C
And I let you walk away

You left me broken
You left me stranded
The way you play this game of love
It's just plain underhanded
I spent a lot of time
And I spent all my money
Don't want no other fool
To put his hands on you

   A
Who you been talking to?
Yeah who you been walking with?

Chorus:
A      G                A     G
Seventeen, you're just seventeen
A      G A G
Seventeen

They said I was playing with fire,
I knew I had to take a chance
I had to take you higher to a new experience
But little did I know, I'd never get that far
Girl, you know you put on quite a show,
you're gonna be a star

When you grow older, girl
You'll remember I told you, girl
