Foreigner did one too, from the “Head Games” album:

Seventeen

Late last night
I get a call from a so-called friend
He wouldn’t give his name
Says he saw you with another man
Feels like seventeen years
It’s only seventeen days
Since I saw the real you
And I let you walk away

You left me broken
You left me stranded
The way you play this game of love
It’s just plain underhanded
I spent a lot of time
And I spent all my money
Don’t want no other fool
To put his hands on you
Who you been talkin’ to?
Yeah, who you been walkin’ with?

Seventeen, you’re just seventeen
Seventeen

They said I was playin’ with fire
I knew I had to take a chance
I had to take you higher
To a new experience

But little did I know
I’d never get that far
Girl, you know you put on quite a show
You’re gonna be a star
When you grow older, girl
You’ll remember I told you, girl

Seventeen, you’re just seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, you’re just seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen
Seventeen, you’re only seventeen
Seventeen, seventeen

I'm not much of a Hair Band guy, so this one was new to me.

Seventeen
Song by Winger

Yey I saw sparks fly, from the corner of my eye
When I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn't catch your name
Oh it'd be a shame not to see you again

And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said

I'm only seventeen (seventeen)
But I'll show you love like you've never seen
She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me

Come to my place, we can talk it over
Oh everything going down in your head
She said take it easy, I need some time
Time to work it out, to make you mine

And just when I thought she was comin' to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor, she said

I'm only seventeen (seventeen),
You ain't seen love, ain't seen nothing like me
She's only seventeen, seventeen yeah yea

Yes! Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ha), dancin' close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love

She's only seventeen (seventeen)
I used to give her love, like I've never seen
She's only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young, but she's old enough for me (seventeen)
She's everything I need (seventeen)
Daddy says she's too young
But she's old enough, old enough for me
