Ellie Greenwich

Times have changed,
In many ways,
And seventeen ain't young.
Let's forget,
By-gone days,
'Cause seventeen ain't young.

Seventeen ain't young, no more,
Not like it was, once before,
It's old enough to know how you feel,
Old enough to know whem love is real,
And I know what I feel inside, girl,
I know it's right I be with you.

It may be,
That love is blind,
For seventeen ain't young.
You and me,
won't change their mind,
'Cause seventeen ain't young.

Now-a-days you gotta grow up fast,
We're old enough to be in love at last,
I'm only happy when I'm with you,
I couldn't wait another year or two,
So don't you worry, and don't you cry, girl,
Everything's gonna work out fine, you'll see.

Yes, it will,
Wait and see,
Seventeen ain't young.
Take my hand,
And trust me,
'Cause seventeen ain't young.

Oh, no, seventeen ain't young.
Seventeen ain't young.
Baby, seventeen ain't young.

La da da, la, da, da

Ever since I met-cha
I couldn't want you better
I couldn't love you stronger if I tried
It's my true heart I'm showin'
Or my nose would be growin'
You know that it gets longer when I lie

Bein' kinda pretty and down here in the city
Find it isn't easy to be smart
When tryin' to untangle the jingle from the jangle

It's easy if you listen with your heart

La da da, la, da, da

You'll make the winter springtime
And jingle jangle sing time
Right on through the summer and the fall
So darlin' don't be weepin'
And please don't you be sleepin'
When I come creepin' down the hill
To sing ya

Singin La da da, la, da, da
(Sing me, sing me, sing me, yeah)
La da da, la, da, da
(Sing the jingle jangle song)
La da da, la, da, da
(Sing me, sing me baby, yeah)
La da da, la, da, da

(Yooooo whoa yooooo)
Wipe away your tears
Let's take a little walk up melody hill
Put aside your fears
We're gonna take a walk up melody hill
While sun shines on the flowers
(La la la la)
We'll kiss away the hours
(La la la la)
Listening to our happy little song

Baby me and you are living in a dream like Jack and Jill
Where skies are always real
Where grass is always green on melody hill
There's always perfect weather
(La la la la)
For me and for us together
(La la la la)
Baby that's the place where we belong

(Whoa whoa whoa whoa melody hill)
People laugh and
(Melody hill)
Skies are sunny
(Melody hill)
Birds are singing
(Melody hill)

(Whoa whoa)

(Whoa whoa)

While sun shines on the flowers
(La la la la)
We'll kiss away the hours
(La la la la)
Listening to our happy little song

(Whoa whoa whoa whoa melody hill)
People laugh and
(Melody hill)
Skies are sunny
(Melody hill)
Birds are singing
(Melody hill)

Oh yea
(Melody hill)
People grooving

Flowers growing
(Melody hill)
Skies are sunny
(Melody hill)
