Don’t you think you’re a bit too grey Inviting her out for a coffee Enamoured by pictures you paint Spontaneous lust so naïve Making out Strawberries and skinny swimming Keeps coming back because she was young And that’s how you like them to stay Hold me hold me Tell me I’m the only One I want to 17 and lonely I want you I want you All to myself That’s what he told me Casual you ask her to play Illusions of romance burning Innocent but still no mistakes Cause she smelled his last girl victim Sneaking out Heart pounding her bare feet racing Dangerously close to her last chance Cause he almost got her to stay Hold me hold me Tell me I’m the only One I want to 17 and lonely I want you I want you All to myself That’s what he told me Hold me hold me Tell me I’m the only One I want to 17 and lonely 17 She’s just 17 He knows what works he put out the bait She bites again unsuspecting He’s beautiful such a worldly face She’s thinking he’ll be her teacher Figured out She’s soft and she thinks you’re worth it Keeps coming back each time more jaded We wonder what made her that way We wonder what made her that way Hold me hold me Tell me I’m the only One I want to 17 and lonely I want you I want you All to myself That’s what he told me Hold me hold me Tell me I’m the only One I want to 17 and lonely I want you I want you All to myself That’s what he told me 17
