Seventeen

I used to kill myself in this dress Is supposed to be I used to kid myself in distress Makes lot more sense speaking of princesses Used to be a major scale But the melody went stale Musical cacophony let Insy winsy spider free You're a rich little boy Who's had to work for his toys You've got all the sensibilities, oh Of an upper class guy No, no I'm not your little slave No I don't twist and turn that way Only got bad things to say You're always asking what is up, up with me Could never tell you what happened The day I turned seventeen The rise of a king and the fall of a queen Oh seventeen Seventeen Oh, you were embarrassed of me 'Cause I used my tongue freely Bet you wish I couldn't speak 'Cause when I do, you know I tell you why you appear weak You want a hassle free life? Go get your upper class wife She's got all the personality, oh Of a lemon that has been Truly sucked dry You teach me how to behave I felt you question the way I was brought up as a baby Well you don't know fuck about my family Could never tell you what happened The day I turned seventeen The rise of a king and the fall of a queen Oh seventeen (seventeen) Oh seventeen Oh seventeen The rise of the king and the fall of a queen Oh seventeen Never felt like a princess I used to kid myself in distress That it was just how things Were meant to be Oh seventeen Seventeen --- Seventeen - MARINA
