17 Is Such a Drag

She stands about five feet
Seventeen confused and dazed
She'll celebrate the day
When eighteen candles grace birthday cake
Now she's on borrowed time
Seventeen is such a drag you down, down, down

Eighteen comes your way
New break thank god every day
Shake off your sleeps around
It's on your side get out of town

It's like I told you
Build your successes on what you can do

Blaze life alone
Stand by while the others get thrown
Gaze high on skyward glance
Put your money on best laid plans
Now she's on borrowed time
Seventeen is such a drag you down, down, down

It's like I told you
Nothing comes of secrets that hurt what you do

Down down down
Down down down

She stands about five feet
Seventeen confused and dazed
She'll celebrate the day
When eighteen candles grace birthday cake
Now she's on borrowed time
Seventeen is such a drag you down, down, down

Down down down
Down down down
