It's a false alarm We heard them ringing cause it's been so long And you were singing at the start of the song If they were listening to us through the wall Then baby who can blame us if we're wrong? Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? Baby who can blame us if we're wrong? They're going to say we're wrong These foolish arms They don't know that they hold so long Or they're heavy cause the feelings gone And if they're listening to us at all Then they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours No they weren't really friends of ours They're going to say we're wrong They're going to say we're wrong It's a false alarm Cause it's a false alarm

Oh oh oh oh oh oh A little brother is a little shy He keeps a bible by his bedside Under a bottle and some dim lamp light Mirror on the dresser keep the buttons in line And the baby sisters lonely only she don't lie But she never sleeps alone at night One in the basement and another on the side She keeps her doors locked tight and the windows wide Oh oh oh oh oh oh Whats a woman and a man to do? Half a heart's not enough for two You ever wonder why the pictures bone dry? The sugar pots empty when the neighbors drop by Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Cause mama's saving all her sugar for you Mama's saving it all Oh oh oh oh oh oh

She was seven when I was seventeen She was seven when I was seventeen And no one takes us seriously Cause she was seven when I was seventeen Out from under your long locks Looking like you long forgot What it's like to be in love Or maybe you are too young Crashing when our bike tires kissed We sat and talked about the list With all the boys that you don't miss Your list stopped before mine did Cause she was seven when I was seventeen She was seven when I was seventeen And no one takes us seriously Cause she was seven when I was seventeen You were always on my list And more then just our bike tires kissed But you still see this fucked up kid And the x's on my wrist Cause she was seven when I was seventeen She was seven when I was seventeen And no one takes us seriously Cause she was seven when I was seventeen Oh when I was seventeen
