David Gates - Love Is Always Seventeen lyrics

Seventeen, it's been a while since I've been seventeen And the years since have been mighty lean But there's no use complainin' Forty-two has a way of creeping up on you And my chances left are gettin' few But there's till time remainin' I've been waiting for someone Who loves the way I do And girl I've got my fingers crossed In hopes it might be you... Twenty-one...that's how many different jobs I've done I remember quittin' every one With no hesitatin' And thirty-three... that's how many women left on me I don't have too good a history But I don't mind waitin'... Cause it really doesn't matter how many years you've seen 'cause love is always seventeen. Wonder if you'll be the one To end this lonesome heart 'Cause girl I've got a lot to give And I'd sure like to start. And it really doesn't matter how many years you've seen 'cause love is always seventeen.
