name that tune

[layton]

No affection were the words

That stuck on my mind

When she walked out on me

For the very last time

Oh, mama, sweet mama

Can you tell me what to say

I don't know what I've done

To be treated this way

 

 

In a cold dirty room

That's where I found myself

With a bottle of wine

And some pills on the shelf

Oh, mama, sweet mama

Can you tell me what to say

I don't know what I've done

And I'm feeling so ashamed

 

 

Then an angel appeared

She was just seventeen

In a dirty old gown

With a conscience so clean

Oh, mama, sweet mama

Can you tell me what to say

She's brought back the life

That I once threw away

She's brought back the life

That I once threw away

[layton]

not dylan....along those lines

[olyclimber]

is this the rest of the lyrics to the song?

 

I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye

And when I turned, it was love at first sight

I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name

Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again

And just when I thought she was comin' to my door

She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said

I'm only seventeen, but I'll show you love like you've never seen

She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me

Come to my place, we can talk it over, oh everything going down in your head

She said take it easy, I need some time, time to work it out, to make you mine

And just when I thought she was comin' to my door

She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said

I'm only seventeen, you ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me

She's only seventeen, seventeen

(Solo)

Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime

Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline

She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove

Oh she's my soul, it must be love

She's only seventeen, still she gives me love, like I've never seen

She's only seventeen, daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me

She's everything I need, daddy says she's too young

But she's old enough, old enough for me
