In 1964, capitalizing on Beatlemania, Shadow Morton and Joseph Monaco wrote "Only Seventeen" which incorporated elements of "I Saw Her Standing There," "I Want To Hold Your Hand," and "She Loves You." "Only Seventeen" was recorded with a local girl group, re-branded as the Beattle-Ettes. Lyrics: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 Well I know I'm only seventeen But I'd sure like to be your queen I think you're grand I think you're grand You ask me to and I'm gonna let you hold my hand And then one day when you were really mine I thought that everything was fine Saw you standing there Saw you standing there With another boy but believe me I didn't think you cared You said I wasn't true I found somebody new And you went away You said I should be glad But you just made me mad My friends heard you say You said I loved him yeah yeah yeah You said I loved him yeah yeah yeah You're a fool I really love you Well I know I'm only seventeen But I'd sure like to be your queen I think you're grand I think you're grand You ask me to and I'm gonna let you hold my hand You said I loved him yeah yeah yeah You said I loved him yeah yeah yeah You're a fool I really love you |
