Текст песни Seventeen - Alicia Keys

It's not cold, Ray, it's facts
And it's not just her, it's all of them
They're babies in grown-up bodies
They're hormones in hoodies
But the rest of them are not my responsibility
She is

She's 17, uh-huh
And her brain just don't work (come on now, Jersey)
That's enough, Ray, thank you so much
Just 17
And she's a piece of work
(I know I did some dumb stuff when I was her age)

No, she's sassy, kinda nasty, got me feelin' bad
It get my nerves a-wrackin', actin' like you bad
Might need you a smack, don't make me send her packin', no
She's just 17
And her brain just don't work

We all made mistakes when we were young
Speak for yourself, I was an angel

She's 17
And her brain just don't work
Thank you
Just 17
And she acts like a jerk
(I think you're right about those hormones)

She got me goin' loco, never gonna fall
So put her in a chokehold, that might stop the mojo
I'm a friend, not foe, not gonna watch her blow
She's just 17
And her brain just don't work

Mira, with my kids, un chancletazo y se acabó

Thinks she knows it all
She don't know nothing (no)
All that's at stake she can risk (she can risk)
I once was her, so I'll try to stop it
'Cause she's about to step in some shit

She'll feel the heat in the kitchen (in the kitchen)
Somebody is about to go missin' (go missin')
Testosterone and estrogen (estrogen)
Bad combination
She don't ever listen, no

She's sassy, kinda nasty, got me feelin' bad
It get my nerves a-wrackin', actin' like you bad
Might need you a smack, don't make me send her packin', no, oh no

She got me goin' loco, never gonna fall
So put her in a chokehold, that might stop the mojo
I'm a friend, not foe, not gonna watch her blow, oh no

She pushes to the limit, I be at my limit
She about to hit a hard place to sit in
I'ma have her fit, like she don't really know
She's just 17
And her brain just don't work
