Tamyra Gray - 17 lyrics

(T. Gray, T. Smith, C. Dodd)

I was only 17 when he

Came around and passed my way

He was the finest thing I'd ever seen

And his eyes were green

Him and the boys played basketball

While I was chillin at the park

He had a smile that could shine a light

On your darkest days

He came up to me and said

Excuse me what's your name

I was just wondering if you would like 2 get away

Chorus

Do you remember me?

At the age of 17

You fell in love with me

But it was never ever meant to be

Later on as we got to know each other

I just wanted this day to last forever

But as I learned more bout him

I wondered if I'd ever see him again

There was something bout the way he made me feel

It felt as though the whole world were standing still

And when we talked I could see

He was the perfect man for me

When he took me home that night

I knew that I was gone

He walked me to my door

And that's when I started to write this song

Chorus

Do you remember me?

At the age of 17

You fell in love with me

But it was never ever meant to be

Do you remember me?

I was only 17

Lived my life so wild and free

But it was never ever meant to be

I fell in love the moment I laid my eyes on him

But that's just the problem

Cuz he was already in a relationship

He said he wasn't happy

It wasn't working

And I reminded him of the way that she used to be

He said he couldn't stay and that was just the way

At the sweet age of 17

Chorus
