17

[Verse 1]

Some people tell me

That you're not my kind

And I'd believe them

But I can't get you off of my mind

Some people tell me that I should stay away

Maybe I will, some other day

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it feels right

You know, it feels good

And I don't always do what I should

And I know what makes me happy

And in my heart, you are it exactly

[Chorus]

I don't wanna do right

I just want you tonight

Not just only in my dreams

Save my best behavior for a little later

'Cause I'm only 17

I think I've made my mind up

I've got time to grow up

Face responsibility

Livin' in the moment

Keepin' my heart open

While I'm only 17

[Verse 2]

I'll learn my lessons

And I'll make mistakes

And if I get burned

Well, it'll be my heart to break

It isn't easy, hearing what they say?

Sometimes you've got to

Take a leap of faith

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it feels right

Yeah, it feels good

And I'm not gonna do somethin' stupid

Just this once I wanna feel like

I can do what I want

When I hold tight

[Chorus]

I don't wanna do right

I just want you tonight

Not just only in my dreams

Save my best behavior for a little later

'Cause I'm only 17

I think I've made my mind up

I've got time to grow up

Face responsibility

Livin' in the moment

Keepin' my heart open

While I'm only 17

[Bridge]

Anyone

Who's ever been

In love

Has got to know

What it means

To have a dream

And no one can

Say anything

To change my mind

No, not this time

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause it feels right

You know, it feels good

And I don't always do what I should

And I know what makes me happy

And in my heart, you are it exactly

I don't wanna do right

I just want you tonight

Not just only in my dreams

Save my best behavior for a little later

'Cause I'm only 17

I think I've made my mind up

I've got time to grow up

Face responsibility

Livin' in the moment

Keepin' my heart open

While I'm only 17

I don't wanna do right

I just want you tonight

Not just only in my dreams

Save my best behavior for a little later

'Cause I'm only 17

I think I've made my mind up

I've got time to grow up

Face responsibility

Livin' in the moment

Keepin' my heart open

While I'm only 17

[Outro]

Only 17

Yeah

Only 17
