Driving in my car We stop for a while It's getting so late And you're sendin' me wild. I know that it's madness But oh Oh Oh I'm scared Oh So scared. Taking my hand Try to settle down We won't say a word 'til it's over. And your eyes are so inviting I know that if we stay I'll never take you home. You said you were seventeen But you are somewhere in-between That leads me on How old are you? Runaway to open arms You're just a girl with woman's charms That turns me on How old are you? You've been busy lying You've made it up to now I'm caught up in the heat of the moment. If you love me and then leave me it's the story of my life And I wonY be in the morning The man I am tonight. So Little girl Please try to understand You mean more to me than a one night stand. I'm losing all resistance My head has lost control It's strong Oh So strong. Deep in the night Shadows all around Lost in the magic forever And I know that when you touch me My heart won't let me down. I'm scared Oh So scared. You said you were seventeen but you are somewhere in-between . . . Fighting all temptation I've made it up to now. I'm caught up in the heat of the moment. If you love me and then leave me It's the story of my life And I won't be in the morning the man I am tonight. You said you were seventeen but you are somewhere in-between . . . You said you were seventeen but you are somewhere in-between . . .
