Lyrics
17 Mamma, I can lock the door
17 Mamma, ain't your girl no more
Verse1:
I stayed awake, uh-huh
And I saved away, uh-huh
I found a way through it all
17 Mamma, I can lock the door
17 Mamma, ain't your girl no more
And I love the way I feel inside
And I love the way I feel tonight
Verse2:
It's getting late, uh-huh
My bed is made, uh-huh
And I'm ready made, to take a fall
17 Mamma, I can lock the door
17 Mamma, ain't your girl no more
And I love the way I feel inside
And I love the way I feel tonight
Never felt like this before
Seventeen and I see the light
Seventeen and the time is right
Seventeen Mamma, and I'm out the door
