Letra 17 - Watershed

17

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 around…
'cos I was only 17, just trying to keep my hands clean
Did’nt know what love could mean, 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…
'cos I was only 17, just trying to keep my hands clean
Did’nt know what love could mean, I was living life…
I was only trying to be good, it was misunderstood
Just living like a boy should…
I was living life…
I was living life, oh it does’nt 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…
Na, na, na… living life…
Living life…
