David Gates - Love Is Always Seventeen lyrics

Seventeen -- It's been a while since I've been seventeen

And the years since have been mighty lean

But there's no use complainin'

Forty-two--has a way of creeping up on you

And my chances left are gettin' few

But there's till time remainin'

I've been waiting for someone

Who loves the way I do

And girl I've got my fingers crossed

In hopes it might be you...

Twenty-one...that's how many different jobs I've done

I remember quittin' every one

With no hesitatin'

And thirty-three... that's how many women left on me

I don't have too good a history

But I don't mind waitin'...

Cause it really doesn't matter

How many years you've seen

Cause Love is Always Seventeen

Wonder if you'll be the one

To end this lonesome heart

'Cause girl I've got a lot to give

And I'd sure like to start.
