Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale
Musical cacaphony let
Insy-winsy-spider free
You're a rich little boy
Who's had to work for his toys
You've got all the sensibilities
Of an upper class guy

No I'm not your little slave
No I don't twist and turn that way
Only got bad things to say
You're always asking what is up with me

Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen
Seventeen

Oh, you were embarrassed of me
'Cause I used my tongue freely
Bet you wish
I couldn't speak, 'cause when I do
You know I tell you
why you appear weak
You want a hassle-free life?
Go get your upper class wife
Oh, she's got all the personality, oh
Of a lemon that has been
Truly sucked dry

You teach me how to behave
I felt you question the way
I was brought up as a baby
Well, you don't know fuck about my family

Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen
Seventeen
Seventeen

Never felt all like a princess
I used to kid myself
in the stress that it was just how things
Were meant to be
Oh, seventeen
Seventeen
