Is seventeen too young for a couple to think about sharing a life together? Not according to a seventeen-year-old, surely. Such is the genius (no pun intended) of Jeff Barry, who was 30 years old when he wrote this song. But then, most of us men are never too far away from our seventeen-year-old...
[Verse 1]
Times have changed
In many ways
And seventeen ain't young
Let's forget
Bygone days
'Cause seventeen ain't young
Seventeen ain't young, no more
Not like it was once before
It's old enough to know how you feel
Old enough to know when love is real
And I know what I feel inside, girl
I know it's right I feel for you
It may be
That love is blind
But seventeen ain't young
You and me
Will change their minds
'Cause seventeen ain't young
Nowadays you kinda grow up fast
We're old enough to be in love at last
I'm only happy when I'm with you
I couldn't wait another year or two
So don't you worry, and don't you cry, girl
Everything's gonna work out fine, you'll see
Yes, it will
Wait and see
Seventeen ain't young
Take my hand
And trust me
'Cause seventeen ain't young
Oh, no!
Seventeen ain't young
Seventeen ain't young
Baby, seventeen ain't young
