lyrics

A mysterious visitor appears before me
And talks about the effect I have on her
And I can see it in her picture: she's dangerous
She could be the death of me
I try not to think what I want
And stay safely away from her gaze
In the maze of life

-chorus-
But I can't see past
Those tempting eyes
Do you think you can handle the job that you've asked for
Miss seventeen?
And I should go now and leave you here
Without me turning your life upside down
Miss seventeen

So what do I do?
I have to behave myself (but why)
I've got this feeling like I'm sinking
Yet flying too, but around in circles
From up here I can see the conclusion
So clear in my head

But I can't see past
Those tempting eyes
Do you think you're up for the job that you've asked for
Miss seventeen?
And I should go now and leave you here
Without me turning your thoughts inside out
Miss seventeen

I don't know much about you
Early in the spring

I don't know much about me
Patient as I am!
I don't know much about you
So take my open hand!

I can't say what will happen
Predictive as I am

[chorus]
