I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye
And when I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, but I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head
She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine
And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
I'm only seventeen, you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me
She's only seventeen, seventeen
(Solo)
Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, still she gives me love, like I've never seen
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me
And when I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said
She's only seventeen, seventeen
Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me
She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me

simply put: jailbait!
I love this song. Reminds me of when my sister was a hair band teenager and my dad would see her with older guys. We still tease him with that song all the time.
LOL Tabuu - exactly what I thought. It's a cool sounding song, too.
this song freakin' rocks though!
well he sure was hot for a greasy ol craddle rocker hahahaha
im all mix an emotion
Oh yes. The dirtiest filthiest song ever written. I laugh every time I hear it...so balls out from the first notes and message is clear. This older guy has got himself a 17-year old hottie and is going to work her over. Hot Hot HOT.
good fun tune!
This one should be played on a triple dip with the Stones' 'Stray Cat Blues' and Motorhead's 'Jailbait'. Gotta love that young stuff! Great song, Kip!
The song structure is Grade A, but that was common with Winger. Perfect rift entering the song then the rest of the song kicks ass.
Minnie Riperton-THEE Minnie Riperton was a co-writer?!! :O
