"17" by Rick James

1. A little girl came up to me 
Acting young and shy; 
A little curiosity 
Was flashing in her eyes. 
2. She had seen my face before 
And thought she knew me well. 
So I said, Shall we talk some more; 
Girl, come to my hotel. 
3. She was only 17, 17, 
But she was sexy. 
She was only 17, 17; 
She said she loved me. 
17 years old. 
17 years old. 
4. How we talked all through the night 
And never even touched- 
Even talked of love and life; 
I wanted her that much. 
She said she read a magazine 
That said I was a freak. 
Youll never know, now, little girl, 
Until you take a peek. 
5. She was only 17, 17, 
And she was sexy. 
She was only 17, 17, 
But she was young and fine 
And oh-so-tender; 
Put out right down to night and surrender 
This young girl, this sweet thing; 
I just cant wait. 
No, I mustnt do this; 
Shes almost jail bait. 
17 years old. 
Ooh, 17 years old.

9. 17 years old. 
Sexy, sexy

Sexy, sexy

Sexy, sexy 
17 years old.
