17
Lyricist:Stephen Duffy
I was born in Birmingham But soon I would escape With education incomplete But two songs on a tape
When my girlfriend was expelled We took the London coach Her sister gave her daffodils Her mother an old brooch
And she smiled And she smiled and she smiled She was so beautiful, 17 She was so beautiful, 17
We didn't have much money then No Hi-Fi or TV So, we made love, I'd sing her songs And she would read to me
But we were young I didn't know what love was all about And when I slept with her best friend Of course she threw me out Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And we cried And we cried and we cried She was so beautiful, 17 She was so beautiful, 17
I was looking for a deal Looking for a hit The affectations of success The airs that goes with it
While she was looking for a man Who didn't need a maid She modeled for an agency Who made sure she got paid
And she smiled And she smiled and she smiled She was so beautiful, 17 She was so beautiful, 17 She was so beautiful, 17
I was an empty headed libertine 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17, 17
