Watershed - 17 Lyrics

For the first time we laid down was so tender
And the next night I remember kept her high heels on
So excited
I invited her to stay a while
Just as long as she promised to keep that red dress on
How was I to know she was only fooling round?

Cause I was only 17
Just trying to keep my hands clean
Didn't know what love could mean
And I was living life

On the radio they played that song called Layla
And she turned it up as she came across the room to me
And I held her close like she was made of angel glass
Never realised that what we had could never last
How was I to know she was only fooling around?

Cause I was only 17
Just trying to keep my hands clean
Didn't know what love could mean
And I was living life
I was only trying to be good (I was 17)
It was misunderstood (Just 17)
Just living like a boy should
And I was living life

And I was living life
Oh it doesn't seem so long ago
That I was living life
It amazes me how time can pass you by
When you living life
How was I to know she was only fooling around?
Just fooling around

I said nah nah nah nah nah
Living life

Yeah I was only 17
Just trying to keep my hands clean
Didn't know what love could mean
And I was living life
And I was living life
And I was living life
