Seventeen, high-school queen, Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see. Well you've come a long way since September, But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember, You know he's mine. You know he's mine. You know he's mine. Sylvie, girl, I'm a very patient person, But I'll have to shut you down, If you don't give up your flirting. Leave him alone, ''cause I know he loves me. Leave him alone, ''cause he tells me he loves me. Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again. Seventeen, high-school queen, Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see.
