Dear Abbie I know you've heard the story a thousand times before
Oh Abbie I don't know what to do so please listen once more
I'm only seventeen I was young and I was free
If only I had seen this could happen to me
Oh Abbie what am I supposed to do?

CHORUS

One night of passion how stupid I have been
Sex is the fashion I wish that I had seen
My sweet surrender turned so bitter in the end
One night of passion left me without a friend

Dear Abbie you sounded out the warnings and explained the rules
Oh Abbie each time I read your column how I laughed at all the fools
Now the fool is me and the boy I grew to hate
He just refused to be a victim of my fate
Oh Abbie what am I supposed to do ?

REPEAT CHORUS

My folks must never know
Thou they'd know what to do
But that would hurt them so
Oh Abbie I can only turn to you

I'm only seventeen I was young and I was free
If only I had seen this could happen to me
Oh Abbie what am I supposed to do ?

REPEAT CHORUS
