Sixteen going on seventeen
But she thinks that she's twenty-one
Doing things she ain't done before
Got her hands on a loaded gunTalking 'bout
Sweet 17Got a mouthful of sticky stuff
Blowing bubbles in the parking lot
She's in love with a film star
So she gives it everything she's gotHer daddy tells her she's crazy
And her momma says, "Please slow down"
See her out on the dance floor
She's gonna wind up in the lost and foundI'm talking about

Sweet 17I wouldn't say she's easy
But she's the kinda girl that won't say no
She's always getting into trouble
Though she's only got a year to go
She's got a record with the local sheriff
And a reputation coast to coast(Fifteen sixteen seventeen)

Sweet 17Sixteen going on seventeen
And she acts like she's twenty-one
Counting days 'til she's eighteen
She's rated expert
She's having funI'm talking 'bout
