Bread – Seventeen lyrics
Seventeen, it's been a while since I was seventeen
And the years since have been mighty lean
But there's no use complaining
And forty-two has a way of creeping up on you
And my chances left are getting few
But there's still time remaining
And I've been waiting for someone, who loves the way I do
Girl I got my fingers crossed, in hopes it might be you
Seventeen, it's been a while since I was seventeen
And the years since have been mighty lean
But there's no use complaining
And forty-two has a way of creeping up on you
And my chances left are getting few
But there's still time remaining
And I've been waiting for someone, who loves the way I do
Girl I got my fingers crossed, in hopes it might be you
Twenty-one, that's how many different jobs I've done
I remember quitting every one
With no hesitating
And thirty-three, that's how many women left on me
I don't have too good a history
But I don't mind waiting
Cause it really doesn't matter how many years we've seen
Cause love is always seventeen
Wonder if you'll be the one to end this lonesome heart
Cause girl I got a lot to give and I'd sure like to start
Cause it really doesn't matter how many years we've seen
Cause love is always seventeen
And the years since have been mighty lean
But there's no use complaining
And forty-two has a way of creeping up on you
And my chances left are getting few
But there's still time remaining
And I've been waiting for someone, who loves the way I do
Girl I got my fingers crossed, in hopes it might be you
Seventeen, it's been a while since I was seventeen
And the years since have been mighty lean
But there's no use complaining
And forty-two has a way of creeping up on you
And my chances left are getting few
But there's still time remaining
And I've been waiting for someone, who loves the way I do
Girl I got my fingers crossed, in hopes it might be you
Twenty-one, that's how many different jobs I've done
I remember quitting every one
With no hesitating
And thirty-three, that's how many women left on me
I don't have too good a history
But I don't mind waiting
Cause it really doesn't matter how many years we've seen
Cause love is always seventeen
Wonder if you'll be the one to end this lonesome heart
Cause girl I got a lot to give and I'd sure like to start
Cause it really doesn't matter how many years we've seen
Cause love is always seventeen
