Sweet 17's got coloured eyes like a TV screen
they both turn red when she's got the blues
Sweet 17, once for all and for ever green
now she has claimed what she might lose
She's the kind of girl that makes a man
feel at home in a no mans land
like children grab a stranger's hand
and I got the blues - I got the blues
I got the blues - I got the blues - I got the blues
Sweet 17 performs her skin like a
beauty queen
with looks that kill when she undress
Sweet 17, fingernails like a guillotine
why turn my back to her caress
She's so sublime like alabaster
every wrong step would entirely crash her
I like to catch her if she falls
and i got the blues - i got the blues
She left a few lines when she disappeard
one for every wasted year
and one for being still alive
I woke up one morning
the walls were closing in on me
she called from the clouds
her shadow was all I could see
How happy can you be before you've fed?
How loaded must you be before you forget?
How much more can a man expect
when a man has the right to choose?
If human hearts are made of ice
where did you learn how to sing the blues?
