Seventeen

Come back I can't remember all the things you said
 Come back to New York honey I won't treat you bad
 Your life was over easy boiling like an egg
 I know you had to leave but I can't help but beg
 And I know it's hard
 And I know you're right
 And I'll call you now
 But not tonight
 And I know the guys
 You're dreaming of
 And I know they don't
 Know how to love
 ♪
 You got me all tied up and I can't see my frame
 
 I walk the boulevard but girls just look the same
 It's fall in Brooklyn now but I don't see the change
 I need a mountain top so I don't feel deranged
 And I know it's hard
 And I know you're right
 And I'll call you now
 But not tonight
 And I know the guys
 You're dreaming of
 And I know they don't
 Know how to love
 ♪
 I was a happy kid when I was seventeen
 I had no love to lose I pictured it in dreams
 You had no thoughts for me and I had none for you
 I was a boy back then but now I'm broke in two
 And I know it's hard
 And I know you're right
 And I'll call you now
 But not tonight
 And I know the guys
 You're dreaming of
 And I know they don't
 Know how to love you
