Seventeen - Bobby Brown

Just a girl, with a dream

Had it all, only seventeen

Went to school, then to church

Understood, felt no need to search

She left home, just because

Her boyfriend, say how fly she was

She made love, night and day

Had his baby, now he’s gone away

Seventeen, oh girl

Seventeen, yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen, made her stronger

Seventeen

Sold her soul, to the streets

So her child, has some food to eat

Running home, she won’t go

Cause everyone said, girl I told you so

Sex and drugs, oh

There’s more to a life

Friends gonna push you, oh oh

But do what is right

You can walk and still have fun

Educate your state of mind

While you’re young

Seventeen

On her own girl

Seventeen, made her stronger

Seventeen, yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen

Seventeen, sold her soul to the streets

Seventeen, so her child could have some food to eat

Seventeen, just a girl with a dream

Seventeen, had it all, only seventeen

Sex and drugs, sex and drugs

There’s more to a life

Friends gonna push you, friends gonna push you

But do what is right

You can walk, you can walk and still have fun

Educate your state of mind, educate your state of mind

While you’re young

Seventeen

Sold her soul to the streets

So her child could have some food to eat

Just a girl with a dream

Had it all, only seventeen

Yeah yeah baby

On her own girl

She’s only seventeen

Oh yeah

The girl is only seventeen now
