Sixteen going on seventeen
But she thinks that shes twenty-one
Doing things she aint done before
Got her hands on a loaded gun
Talking bout
Sweet seventeen
Got a mouthful of sticky stuff
Blowing bubbles in the parking lot
Shes in love with a film star
So she gives it everything shes got
Her daddy tells her shes crazy
And her momma says
Please slow down
See her out on the dance floor
Shes gonna wind up in the lost and found
Im talking about
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
I wouldnt say shes easy
But shes the kinda girl that wont say no
Shes always getting into trouble
Though shes only got a year to go
Shes got a record with the local sherriff
And a reputation coast to coast
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
Sixteen going on seventeen
And she acts like shes twenty-one
Counting days til shes eighteen
Shes rated expert
Shes having fun
Im talking bout
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
You know what I mean
(fifteen sixteen seventeen)
Sweet seventeen
