Seventeen

Westwood girls in their skirts and their turtle necks
Starting their day with their coffee and cigarettes
Says she's from Taipei now lives in Texas
I love the way they stand on their own, their own, their own

Washington DC never forget this
Blame nothing swear you're an architect
Names, faces, outstanding places
I love the way they stand on their own, their own

Come down and see
they'll let you in
At seventeen they'll let you in

I'm on a page-turner forward to never stop
I couldn't miss if you wanted that
Came back from home town now you can feel down
I love the way they stand on their own their own their own
Come back and use me
Now you can never spend
I told you save for another friend
I was ok but you surely convinced me
I love the way they stand on their own, their own

Come down and see they'll let you in
Oh at seventeen they'll let you in
Come now, come clean
They'll let you in
Oh they'll let you in
They'll let you in

Oooh come now come clean
They'll let you in
Ooh at seventeen they'll let you in
all the years between
They'll let you in
Oh they'll let you in
They'll let you in
