The Ballad of the 17 Year Old (outtake) Songtext
von Metronomy

I said, "Clean out", and you never did it
And I said, "Talk to me", but you didn′t take me seriously

No more assuming
No more assuming
No more assuming

Don't hate me for hurting
Sometimes things stop working

I said, "Take me out", but you never did it
And I said, "Talk to me", but you didn′t take me seriously

No more assuming
No more assuming
No more assuming


Don't hate me for hurting
Sometimes things stop working
Don't hate me for hurting
Sometimes things stop working

And you know when you said teenage love′s not dead
And remember how you told me
You′d be there to hold me
All those times that you said, lying in my bed
How you never felt a woman, always me wrapped around you

You'd be there to and fro
Without me in your heart
But remember how I warned you
How much I adore you
