Baby, oh, you're a birthday girl tonight
Seventeen in the best years of your life
You say please, please, how could it be
That I'm so numb thinking 'bout these birds and bees
I'm a lone shark baby and I do it right
But not tonight

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through

Baby girl, see the universe tonight
Anything if you just take the line
Snowed up no inhibitions
Goddamn girl use your intuition
Are you listening to me? Yeah.

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through
You're just seventeen
Don't wait for me
I'll get you all worked up but
I'll never follow through at all, at all

I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care
I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care
I'll surround you, be all around you
But you could even care

Baby, oh, you're a birthday girl tonight

I'm not the one that you want
I'll only break your heart
But when I try, Oh, I try
You just never follow through
You're just seventeen
Don't wait for me
I'll get you all worked up but
I'll never follow through at all, at all.
