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
